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".

Samples of barrel 1, 2, and 3 poured at THE FESTIVAL in MA with Andrew. Poured a clear golden body with no head, very minor lacing. Aroma is funk, light fruit, and a funky aged gouda cheese. Mouthfeel started thin and became fuller by barrel 3. Notes of sour tart fruit, funk, Brett, and aged Gouda. Overall average for the three barrels would be 3.7 for me.

Nose is gras, light dung, lemon rind, cheese, straw, damp wood. Taste comprises weak but tarte lemon squash, grass, barnyard notesm orange pith, funk, tarte and sour citric notes. Medium bodied with fine carbonationm light puckerings in the the finish. Decent but not my favourite from Cantillon by any means.

mcberko (4046) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 7, 2013
On tap at Mikkeller & Friends, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of tart dry fruits, some wild yeasts, and some barnyard funk. Flavour brings out classic Cantilllon barnyard funk, medium acidity, some slight vinous quality and oak. Highly complex and very authentically lambic-like. Awesome stuff.
