COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The original brewed Lambic. Letting this beer age for 1, 2 or 3 years and mixing those for fresh Lambic makes a Gueuze. A Gueuze is also bottle conditioned which gives it carbonation. The Lambic however is complete flat without bubbles. Available only in draught form.

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 "Girardin Oude Lambik" and anything less than 6 months-old under "Girardin Jonge Lambik".

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".

tderoeck (1169) - BELGIUM - FEB 6, 2012
5/II/2012 on tap from wooden cask @ Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2012-104)

Clear orange to amber beer, small layer of big bubbles, non adhesive, unstable. Aroma: sweet yoghurt, butter milk, butter, ripe banana. MF: no carbon, light body. Taste: very bitter, little fruity, some wood, mainly bitter, diacetyl. Aftertaste: medicinal bitterness. Really bad. Can not believe that this is the stuff that makes my favourite geuze!

sebletitje (4002) - Enghien, BELGIUM - JAN 21, 2012
From a serving plastic keg @ Little Delirium. Orangée/ambre laissant juste qcq bulles à la surface. Arôme est dans la lignée d’un lambic, poussiéreux, houblon et malt laissant un bouquet aigre léger se développer. En bouche, grains et poussiéreux, avec en retrait un houblon sec et fleuri et un grains léger restant sur un palais aigre.

Smaksprøve fra fat under stopp 1 på Tour de Geuze 1 Mai 11: Hanssens Artisanaal i Dworp. Ser ut som eplejuice. Uklar. 0 skum. Syrlig eplearoma. Litt søtlig eplesmak men stigende syrlighet etter hvert.
