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.

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.

Bag-in-box @KŘ 2005. Golden body with no head. Aroma is intensive sour, fruity and hint of oak. Flavor more than less as aroma. Intense, refreshing acid sour, fruity like immature cider apple and traces of wood.

Aroma: apples, pears, and mozzerlla cheese water, some spices and maybe some stewed tomatoes
Appearance: golden yellow-orange
Flavor: some startchiness--like potatoes, some spices and some stewed tomatoes or tomato sauce
Palate: smooth with weird vegetable taste--this really isn’t working...
