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". If in doubt, message JorisPPattyn.

[Draft at Stockholm Beer Festival 2003] An orange beer with a bubbly disappearing head. The aroma is a sweet and sour lambic aroma. The flavor is nice: a little moldy "mug", sour, and sweet with notes of fruit and "nellikker". A good lambic

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Deep golden with some haze. Very fruity with notes of tart berries. Sour, but the acidity is beautifully balanced by the intense, complex flavours. There are notes of barnyard, dry white wine, wood and more. This beer is a wonderful experience. I can't think of any other beers which is bith this thirst quenching, and also super-complex and flavourful.

(Bag in a box) Very dark golden, well - almost amber. Completely clear, completely flat, no head. Lovely nose of overripe fruit - plums perhaps? Fresh and quenching, naturally very acidic, but far from in any extreme way. Weird, dry bitterness in the finish. 010605

The nature of unblended lambic is that you never know quite what you’re going to get. One cask turns out sublime, others not so much. This was one of the latter. Copper-amber colour. Cider and diacetyl in the nose. Sweet and sour palate that is cidery and somewhat horsey. Hint of diacetyl persists. Same cask as Dr. Nate and Mads Berg.

From bag in box. Clear amber coloured with a fast disappearing white head. Fruity aroma with light acidic notes. Light acidic flavour of fruits, wood and hops.
