COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Unlike many other unblended oude lambik, there exists both draft and bottled versions of De Cam Oude Lambiek.

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".

750mL bottle at Grote Dorst, pours a cloudy dark orange with a medium white head. Aroma of incredibly complex barnyard funk, dry leather, and dry notes. Flavour is incredibly complex, with insanely complex barnyard funk, leather and more barnyard. Amazing depth, with such a deep complexity. The funkiness is of such a remarkably complex level. Very drinkable and a pleasure to drink. Amazing stuff.
