Commercial Description:
Unblended lambic available on draught at the 3 Fonteinen brewpub.

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.

on tap at the Backwoods Brewdown. LIghtly hazy golden in color. Aroma of sour apples, citrus zest, oak, and funk. Taste: sour apples, mild citrus, a good amount of oak, and some funky barnyard. somewhat earthy. Finishes sour with lingering lactic notes and lingering oak.

Caramelized straw colour. Relatively phenolic aroma with limey fruit notes and fresh wood. Tart and refreshing with a sugary kiss late. Rustic, yet perfectly approachable.

Flat hazed amber color. Aroma of apples and some phenols. Juicy thick and nice palate. Really smooth and delicious flavors and belie the odd aromas. Again with the apples, which mellow into wood. Then tannins and tobacco leaves come out. A really neat experience.

From tap at Ølsmagningen i Valhal. Pours slight unclear golden orange with no head. Dry wooden and smooth acetone aroma. Dry and solid sour initial flavour, really giving a bite. Holds a mild fruity accent to a dry acetone note following this as the smoothness sets in. Lasting wooden/acetone and fruity finish.
