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 "Cantillon Oude Lambik" and anything less than 6 months-old under "Cantillon 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 at ´t Spinnekopke, Brussels. No indication of age, but appeared with a thin, fine-bubbled and stable head above the cloudy orangey golden beer. Sour lambik aroma, yoghurt, mellow citrus. Sharp acidic flavours, hint of yoghurt, wood towards the finish, very dry. An amazing complexity of citrus. Lightish body, dry mouthfeel. One of the world´s great beers.

Cloudy golden beer. Fruity aroma with notes of acid, honey and citrus. Somewhat acidic flavour with notes of rubber. No carbonation. Long bitterness but without the hop bite.

Draught. Hazy orange with a small bubbly white head. The aroma is huge - dusty and earthy with lots of acetic wood and apricot fruitiness. Very sharp and acidic - woody again, and puckeringly tart. Refreshing citrus with wheaty undertones. Excellent stuff. Sampled at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation on May 28, 2006.

Unclear golden body; Great deep complex not overpowered nose, very nice and fresh with lots of apple, grapefruit juice, some wood and also some hop; Very sour body (not to the extreme), but I still think it overpowers the complexity a bit; Into fine sour finish with lots of very fresh apple, grapefruit juice and peel. Super!

At Cantillon Brewery, Brussels. No carbonation, great mouthfeel. Soft, very dry, with a juicy acidity. Tastes very fresh for a lambic. Citric acidity, covers every corner of the mouth. I could drink this all afternoon, one of the most drinkable lambics i’ve had.

Tap at Monk’s Cafe. Sour, but quite manageable even for a beginning palate. Straight lambic, but detected fruity notes nonetheless, of pear and sour apple. light bodied and colored. Pleasant, and an excellent antidote to a couple of overly sweet beers.

Couleur dorée, apparence brouillée, quelques grosses bulles éphémères. Arômes de bois, d’agrumes, de zeste et de vin blanc. Acidité tranchante en bouche, lactique, citronnée, une faible part de sucre résiduel toujours présent. Corps plutôt atténué, faible carbonatation. Ça c’est du lambic ! En fût, Brasserie Cantillon, Bruxelles, Décembre 2005.

Apricot and grape are prominent in the tart and tangy, acidic aroma with some sweaty barnyard and woody character. Hazy golden orange-yellow with low white fully diminishing head. Apricot, grapes, rubber, honey, barnyard and mint flavours blend together wonderfully in the musty flavour that leads through to a light, tart, dry finish. Medium-light body with no carbonation. Very easy to drink. Cask at GBBF 2005.
