Girardin Jonge Lambik

On tap at the Hotel Centrum, Beersel 25/4/08. Amber coloured with no head. Tart aroma with a touch of fruit, caramel and wood. Some sweet malt came through in the flavour before the tartness returned in the finish. Different and oddly refreshing.

Darker amber coloured ber, no carbonation nor head. Light oaky, yeasty buttery aroma, maybe some light infection? Full palate. FInish is sweet sour combined, some more heavy dought touches. Not bad, but i suspect an infection of the beer in this case.

Beer was infected. Hazy light amber coloured beer. Almost no head. No carbonation. Buttery sweet aroma. Sweet full palate. Finish is sweet though a little bitter. and special herby touch.

At Aarschots Bierfestivn on March 23, 2008. (Draught) Clear deep golden color, small white head. Some butterscotch, also acidic vinegar, mostly sweet scent. Sour tart cherry and stable taste. Some butterscotch but mostly sour aftertaste. Smooth almost flat mouthfeel, virutally no bitterness.

Tria fermentation school. Poured mostly flat with a nice clear tawny body and nice legs on the glass like a nice scotch or port. Aroma is wierd- and almost has a freshly cooled wort sticky sweet smell to it which was almost disturbing since I have never encountered that before in any beer- some light tartness as well along with a bit of barnyard funk- flavor is much more tart than the aroma let on- and I swear I noticed way mroe acidity in the jonge lambic than the oude lambic served immediately after this one- I hope they didnt fuck up the order. Flavor is nicely acidic, yet still has a bit of sweetness, but that fresh wort is only in the nose so that has gone- good farmhouse and cheesy breett funk with a nice lactici sourness in the end some mildewy woody corkiness that I get from cantillon spongy cork. Not overly sour, just nice and refreshing. I havnt had too many jonge lambics but this was pretty good.
