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.

Clear dark-yellow amber color. Tartness in the nose and flavours. A bit musty. Sticky mouthfeel. Long lasting sourish aftertaste.

I’d the luck to taste it in ’04 & ’05 version in session. The first were really acetic but still nice, woody, fruity. The younger more complex, with strong cellar notes, such as those of a well crafted "salame", citric and barnyardy along with that fantastic fruitiness. Both lovely and quenching.

(3/1/08) Draught sample at Zythos Bier Festival 2008 in Sint Niklaas. Clear golden with no head. Very nice barnyard aroma. Sour flavor with wood and citrus. Good rounded mouthfeel.
