“Green Walnut” is a surprising and innovative Lambic beer of Oud Beersel. For the production of the Green Walnut real fruit is used, in the same way as for the Oude Kriek of Oud Beersel.
In July the still green walnuts are gathered in the Oud Beersel orchard and are added to the Lambic beer that matured in wooden wine barrels.
After the bottle fermentation this sparkling walnut Lambic of Oud Beersel is called Green Walnut, which is a strong companion for blue-veined cheese, dried ham and salads with nuts.
The green walnuts macerate in the Lambic beer enabling them to unfold their taste and flavour. The initial bitterness which is extracted from the walnuts is tempered during the ripening of the walnut Lambic. This results in a delicate balance between the light sourness of the Lambic beer and the bitterness of the green walnuts. The wooden wine barrels provide a subtle touch of red fruits to the beer.

750 ml bottle, 2017 vintage, shared by Werckmeister, thanks! Amber, slightly hazy body, with a medium, frothy, lacing, slightly yellow. Aroma of barnyard, wood, musty, overripe fruits, moderate leather, some citrus, slight almond. Tastes pretty similar. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a quite fizzy carbonation. Finishes a bit lighter, but smooth, wooden, medium funky, moderate leathery, musty, fruity, a bit citric. Very nice. Quite straight Lambic, with a bit more complexity and quite a lot of carbonation. Nice funk and oldish fruitnnotes, while I don't really get the walnut. Not among my favourite Oud Beersels, but still a lovely one. Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15

Rund säuerlicher Beginn, dessen trocken holzige Bitternote mich nicht auf Walnuss gebracht hätte. Hohe Süffigkeit trotz der Trockenheit, spritzig, langer Abgang. Lecker! 10/11/12/12//12

Bottle, 6.0%. Good acetic and mouthwatering aroma. Cloudy golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is sweeter than expected, and nicely acetic. Low bitterness, not even the woody bitterness that I often get from lambik. Very refreshing and good.

Bottle from my fellows in mysery at work, given to me for my 41st birthday. Pours hazy straw with rocky but stable white head. Vinous and dusty aroma with mild touches of herbs and hops. Exquisitely dry flavour with hints of yeast and fruit, and touches of cresh walnuts. Lingering, bitter and dry aftertaste with notes of maturing walnuts. Very nice. Thank you so much! Always happy to be 41.
