Commercial Description:
Please note the age of the sample you are reviewing when entering your rating. While many factors determine whether you have had "Jonge" or "Oude" Lambik, a general rule of thumb is to enter 1 year-old or older lambik under "3 Fonteinen Oude Lambik" and anything less than 6 months-old under "3 Fonteinen Jonge Lambik".

For those between 6 and 12 months of age, you should take in to consideration the character of the lambik. Samples presenting themselves as hazy/cloudy, with some head-formation and residual sugar should be entered as "Jonge Lambik", while those that are drier, higher in clarity and with little/no head formation should be entered as "Oude Lambik". If in doubt, message JorisPPattyn.

Weekend of spontaneous fermentation 07’ Very cloudy golden with no head. Aroma of cashew nuts, oak, sherry and acid, very very complex. The body is pretty smooth and moderately tart. Flavours of chardonnay, nuts, grapejuice.. already very dry at this young age. Crisp finish. Almost opposite in character to the finished gueuze, interesting.

Clearish golden hue, headless. Diplomatic aroma that feels clean at this young age. Citrusy and flowery character are prominent and feel fresh for a lambic. As it warms, the funkiness follows though and accompanied by lactic, yogurt-like acidity that refreshes and enhances drinkability. Remarkable integration in mouth where the word nuanced takes its meanings. Soft herbal touches, tannins and the fair medium body are a young and dynamic trio already thinking about the coup that they are going to make as they get older. Ambitious.

Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 07. Hazy amber of color, no head. An aroma of gun powder, sour in a raw way and notes of wood. A flavor of wood, dry and no sweets.

On tap @ Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2007. Hazy orange and golden in colour. Some sourness and dryness and notes of cheese, cheese and more cheese.

Cloudy gold. Nose is funky but restrained lemon, tart wheat, some strawberry & fruit. Flavor is lighter lemon, tart but not overly so. Some malt still shines.
