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 "Belle-Vue Oude Lambik" and anything less than 6 months-old under "Belle-Vue 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.

Cask gravity @ 17th Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008.
Hazy medium yellow color with a virtually none appearance, virtually none lancing head. Aroma is apple tart, grapefruit, lemon, barnyard, leather, oak, vinegar notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and light acidic - vinegar with a long duration, and a dry dry dry finish. Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat. (240508)

Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008. 2 years old. Cloudy yellow wheat colored body. Huge prickly hay flavor, acetid and sharp. Buttery popcorn and peanuts in the middle just destroy any positives this one has. Arcid peanuts and yeast dominate... ugh.

Tap@SpontaneousWeekend08. Aroma of banana and oak with a hint of vinegar. Cloudy, yellow color, no head. Sweet, banana, sour, hint of vinegar, some oak. Quite young, lacks complexity, I’m not impressed.

Nice clean Geueze not spectacular but woth seeking out. I think it is only available on tap in the lambic region of Belgium and is very hard to find. light citrus nose with a very balanced tart horseblaket bret.

(4 years and 4 months old - aged IN the breweries' pipes). Hazy, orangey colour. Slight white head. Superb maderisation. Nose of vintage Burgundy, 'horseblanket', citrussy, peppery, woody. Lemon-like acidity. Something sticky (I think it's my tooth plaque coming loose from me teeth). Extreme dry-effect. Lipsmacking left-over citrussy acidity in the aftertaste. Mind-blowing age( brewery-conditioning!) for this beer. Result is fabulous.
