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 "3 Fonteinen Oude Lambik" and anything less than 6 months-old under "3 Fonteinen 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, Hazy orange colour, not much head. Aroma is sour fruits, apples and very earthy. Flavour is pretty much the same. Very pleasant to drink, even slightly watery compared to other lambic from the brewer.

A Mes rate. Barrel at the Weekend of Tarts.
Fantastic dark Drie Fonteinen colour. Really odd cheap cola aroma. Fruity as hell in the mouth. Lots of awesome citric madness. Close to a 9 in all honesty. Clearly young but oh so much character. The only thing not in evidence are those wonderful barrel notes, that in my opinion, no one does as well as Armand. Very good indeed. One of the best jonge lambics I have had.

(Draught, Restaurant 3 Fonteinen) Pours a cloudy burnt orange body with a small white fizzy head. Aroma of citrus, white grapes, wood, and florals. Flavor of white grapes, grapefruit, and earth. I could easily drink this every day for breakfast.

Clearish golden hue, headless. Diplomatic aroma that feels clean at this young age. Citrusy and flowery character are prominent and feel fresh for a lambic. As it warms, the funkiness follows though and accompanied by lactic, yogurt-like acidity that refreshes and enhances drinkability. Remarkable integration in mouth where the word nuanced takes its meanings. Soft herbal touches, tannins and the fair medium body are a young and dynamic trio already thinking about the coup that they are going to make as they get older. Ambitious.

On tap @ Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2007. Hazy orange and golden in colour. Some sourness and dryness and notes of cheese, cheese and more cheese.
