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".

Martinus (666) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - FEB 13, 2012
On tap as 3 year old lambiek, De Oude Cam
Light amber colour, slight white diminishing (lambic) head. Very floral aroma, quite tart, spicy wood, earth, citrus, light lactic acid. Dry lambic flavour, tart but very drinkable, still some light sweetness in the background. Very light carbonation. Slightly astringent. Old but still very much alive. Easily the best lambic at BBF this year.
(Draught @ 5th BBF, Brugge 2012)

Marsiblursi (2371) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - FEB 11, 2012
(Bottle) pours clear orange with no head. The aroma holds lots of brett - horse blanket, moldy basement and barnyard. Undertones of cheese, citrus, tart berries, wet stone, wet sand, earth, tart white grape, light wood and cracker-like malt. The flavour light sweet to dry and medium to heavily acidic. Citrus, brett, lacto, crackers and tart berries. The mouthfeel is flat and tart with no carbonation. Citrus and light phenols on the finish. Light to medium bodied.
