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".

Ungstrup (23961) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 3, 2004
[Vintage 1995, bottled 2000, sampled 2004] The color is a hazy dark yellow and it has a small lasting white head. The aroma is very nice sharp and sour - just like a lambic should be. The flavor is a sharp fresh lambic flavor with notes of lemon. The end is very dry and lemony. It is somewhat flat from low carbonation, but it is very fresh for a beer bottle 4 years ago and brewed 9 years ago. A great lambic.
