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.

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.

Tasted at Brewery. Unclear amber with no head only small bubbles. Low carbonation. Lots of mouldy cellar notes. Manuer, wood & hints of caramel. Soft, dry and funky.

Following multiple samples over two years at 3 Fonteinen restaurant and most recently at Spinnekopke. Dark orange-copper color. Smells like a bunch of musty lemons crammed into some old gym socks. Somehow I’ve grown to love that, although I certainly didn’t the first time. Now the lemon comes out more in the aroma, adding refreshment while the funk adds character. Soft carbonation from acidity. Sour and lightly bitter. Bright, lively and intense.

Bottle 35 cl - stamped 17/02 2006. This bottle was almost impossible to open - probably because of no carbonation. Pours a hazy deep golden yellow that is quite similar (without other comparences) morning urine. No head. The nose is fresh and clear with notes of green grapes, peach among other fruits. The palate is also fresh but a little waterish with an oily and sparkling finishing feeling. The flavour is sour, but mild and round and i taste peaches, pomelos, butter,and grains. Easy to dring

Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008. April 2007 brewdate. Still and honey in color. Initial nose of alcoholic chemical cleaner and apple juice, but turns to some light honey malt notes after a short time. Vinuous and thin on the palate, flavors mostly of white wine, vinegar, chemical flavored malt, etc. Low acidity, little yeast noticed, low tartness. I expected it to be better but overall it’s still tasty.
