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".

mjs (3665) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 26, 2010
(Approximately 1.5 year old one - draught at Gastropub Tuulensuu, Tampere) Poured golden and hazy with small, sparse and white head. Aroma was fruity, cirtic and bit sweet. Palate was medium bodied and bit dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were sourness, fruitiness, grapefruit, sweetness, wort and mild bitterness. Aftertaste containes sourness, fruitiness and apples. Nice to try a news lambic before it’s old enough and blended.

Alphadelic (1639) - Portland, Oregon, USA - APR 18, 2010
At The Rake’s lambic fest: Very yeasty orange aromas and a sweet lemonade flavour. Very soft with a little buzz to it.

harrisoni (11025) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - NOV 15, 2009
4 year old from a plastic barrel at The Rake. Dark gold, some ok lambic aroma. Bit of puke on this in the mouth. Not great. The puke makes it very difficult to drink.

kappldav123 (3863) - Nordhausen, GERMANY - NOV 13, 2009
Big thanks to magicdave6 for that beer. Starts mild, a bit salty, also woody-grasy. Modest sourish, but becomes more and more intense. Finish a bit prickly. Interesting!

anders37 (12974) - Malmö, SWEDEN - SEP 14, 2009
Draft @ Lindemans. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with no head. Has a sweetish fruity grainy aroma. Sweetish fruity and slightly tart flavor with some funky hints. Has a smooth fruity slightly tart finish.

MesandSim (7118) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 6, 2009
A Mes rate. Draught at DHVL with our Tom.
This was really rather good. I wasn’t expecting much but it was so full of character. Tarty, yet very drinkable. Plenty of funk but not over the top. As Tom says, there is a certain cheesey feel about it. Went really well with our food. Good stuff.

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - JUN 21, 2009
Very muddy dun colour. Megastank nose of rotting fruit, pear and light barrel. Thin and cidery with a light toastiness. As it goes with unblended lambic, you don’t always win.

DonMagi (5598) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - MAR 12, 2009
Draught at de hearen. Alround rating: Tart, apply, buttery malts, the old cheesy hops are awsome. Totally no carbonation, massivly drinkable. Great stuff.

bierkoning (9035) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - AUG 24, 2008
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!
