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.

An unclear orange beer with a fine orange head. The aroma is primarily sour but with notes of sweetness as well as lemon and wild fermentation. The flavor is lovely sour with notes of grapefruit, lemon, and oranges. A great Lambic.

Hazy amber golden, completely lacking head. Distinct, tart Brett aroma. Slightly watery body with a marked sourness. All the typical Brett characteristics: horse blanket, donkey manure - you name it. All fun stuff. 190506

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.

Sampled from cask at Akkurat, Stockholm (7%).
Cloudy orange with rich head. Concentrated citric aroma. Wonderful soft mouthfeel. Fresh and fruity - lemnon juice! Some grassy hops in the background, a just a hint of barnyard. Superb.

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.
