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 "De Cam Oude Lambiek" and anything less than 6 months-old under "De Cam Jonge Lambiek".

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.

Clear amber with no head. Sourish aroma with woody and citric notes. Flavor has sour apples, wood and mild barnyard notes. Ends sour. Nice and refreshing.

Clear amber of color, no head. An aroma with notes of port, sweets and oak, sour hints. A flavor of storaged apples, some sour and hints of sweets.

From draft at the tour de geuze. The cam is still one of the better lambic and geuze makers. A lot of caracter and a very nice taste

A Mes rate: From the barrel at the brewery during the Toer de Geuze. Wow. Easily the best young lambic I have had. Would be interested to know exactly how old this was as it already had some character of something quite a bit older. Lovely amber golden hue. Sandalwood already in the nose and something that I can only describe as reminding me of being on a beach. (Does Cosmo Kramer work for De Cam?) Citric flavour with apple and white wine but again there are the notes of something older, straw, hay and barnyardy funk mask its young age. Mouthfeel is excellent, almost worth a 5. Although it is flat it has a lovely soft carbed feel due to a creeping dryness round the edges. Very very good young lambic with bags of character.

Draught. Bright, foggy, orange coloured body with a bubbly white ring of head. The aroma is really piney, bretty barnyard, and well funkified - it’s a tear jerker straight out of the gates. Bready biscuity backing with fruity tartness and a decent amount of wheat. Nice. Sampled at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation on May 28, 2006.

Cloudy lemon in colour. Mild citrus, with a big funky woody aroma. Cheesy funky flavour with some acidic white wine flavours. Medium bodied, nice and refreshing.

Very vinous aroma, grapes. The whine character comes back in the flavor, but is followed by a strong oaky flavor. Not very sour, but with citric notes. Grapes and oak aftertaste. Not the best lambic in the world, still very good.

Hazy body. Amber-orange colour. No head. Nose of wine, grapes and flowers. Lightly sweet, lightly acidic initial flavour which is very fruity. Lightly sweet finish. According to me, this is a superb lambiek. As a matter of fact, I do not think this needs a lot of blending, pour it into bottles and deliver us a magnificent product!
