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 "Cantillon Oude Lambik" and anything less than 6 months-old under "Cantillon 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".

GodOfThunder (1235) - Orlando, Florida, USA - APR 10, 2010
Couple samples at the brewery. Pours a golden yellow with no head. Fairly still. Aroma of barnyard funk, lemons and other bitter elements. Flavor is fairly bitter, with the sour, tart and funk in there also. Basically, just adds another flavor to the mix, bitter lemon peel. Very good, as you would expect, but I prefer the older and blended versions.

JK (3966) - Uptown, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - APR 7, 2009
Draught at the Football Pub, Rome. Labeled as the Jonge lambik. Classic Cantillon character, sour, lots of yeast. Some acid. No carbonation really. What stands out about this beer is how mild it is, surely the least sour Cantillon I have ever had. It is still wonderful, as every Cantillon is, but this is very approachable; it reminds me of the Broucilla.
