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.

Rerate. Bag-in-a-box @ KØ 2005: Well, the first sample I had in Stockholm might have been a little too old, but these samples (tried it 3 times) simply does it for me. This is lambic, as I like it. Extreme sourness and acidity with a fresh light fruity undertone. Sweeps the palate clean and refresh the tastebuds like no other unblended lambic I’ve had. Lots of woody notes, and a good long lingering grapeflavour in the end. Find it hard to belive, that it can be much better, but I will of course continue the quest.
Draft @ Akkurat, Stockholm: Orange coloured, unclear and no head as it should be. Is very sour in the nose. Acidic and citric with some vague fruit notes. Flavour is complex. Spices, sourness and a vague underlying sweetness is fighting for the tastebuds. Delicious eventhoug it lack a bit in freshness. Is smooth and cleansing in the end. Almost like drinking applejuice. Yummy

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...

Tap @ Plan B., Cph.
Pours clear golden with no head. Aroma is tart, but with a sugary sweetness and lots of oaky wood. Almost completely flat, small, tiny bubbles on the tongue. Flavour is softly tart, lots of fresh oakiness, good lactic sourness and funkiness. Stays on my teeth all the way through!
