Commercial Description:
Only available straight from cask at the brewery or in a very few traditional pubs in the direct neighborhood of Vlezenbeek.

Attention! This is not the bottled 1996 vintage to be found in Swedish Systembolaget or in speciality shops in Belgium. If you had "Lindemans Oude Lambik 1996 Vintage" or "Lindemans Loeierik", then you have to enter a rating for "Lindemans Oude Lambik (Loerik)".

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

Draught @ Café het Vagevuur Vlezenbeek. Orange blonde color, still cloudy. Tangerine, banana, milk and flour in the aroma. Sour, milky flavor with hints of yoghurt, lots of tangerine and grapefruit. Nice one!

Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008. 11 months old. Hazy honey color but still in the glass. Faint sweet aroma of fruit, but on the tongue it’s somewhat thin (but smooth) with some basic honey malt flavors... simple, really, and light, lacking really any acidity or tartness or funk. Thin like apple juice, and overall very passable. I expected more from what many consider a great pure lambic brewer.
