Commercial Description:
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 "Timmermans Oude Lambik" and anything less than 6 months-old under "Timmermans 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 at Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008: Hazy gold with orange highlights and no head. Low tart fruits with hay and citrus. Vinous and low wood notes hideout in the back with some peach. Flavor is more woody and acetic than the aroma, but still low. Very smooth and mild for the style. Peach crops up again with some citrus peel. Some metallic notes at the end. A bit light on all the essential flavors... but not bad.

Draught @ Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008. Clear deep golden with no head. Mild sour with notes of hay, wood and barnyard. Lacks carbonation.

Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008. 2 years old. Clear, still light amber color. Light hay and sweet malts in the nose. Mild lemon tartness throughout, with some more mild wheat, hay and honey malt flavors. A bit simple but certainly drinkable.

A Mes rate: Draught at weekend of tarts.
Phone rate as I was wandering around so the notes are a little thin on the ground. A white wine tinged young lambic. Slight barrel notes. Lacking character. Ok for a quick nip but wouldn’t choose to drink any more of it.

Tap@SpontaneousWeekend08. Banana and apricot aroma. Light hazy, yellow color, no head. Neutral start, just light sweet and light fruity. Sour fruity (banana) finish. Sticky mouthfeel. No oak, no complexity. Guess it was not that old.
