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.

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is very light but sour. The flavor is very sour of lemon, wood, and grapefruit. The end is very dry and woody.

From tap at the brewery. Pours slight hazy/cloudy and golden orange with a huge, bubbly and white head - slowly diminishing. Aroma is tart barnyard, light winegrape fruity. Bitter and light acidic flavoured, vague sweetness beneath. Subdued malt note and a mild dry brett to tart pedicoccus acdity into the finish. Smooth fruity and tart far finish. Nice one.

Draught. Hazy orange colour, minor head. Aroma is smooth wood. Flavour is wood,some sourness and slight notes of sweet grass. A very "smooth" lambic by Cantillon. Was one of my favourite lambics tested at the weekend of spontaneous fermentation.

Cask @ GBBF This is my first Cantillon beer. Slightly hazy gold colour with oaky aromas. Very sour lemon and woody flavours. For someone who has never had a real straight lambic before, it is quite a novelty. Wouldn’t want to drink a lot of it, but I can certainly see why people rate this highly

Tasted august 2003, at the brewery. Glass poured by JP van Roy himself, straight from cask. Slightly cloudy, no head at all. Aroma has grapes, oak and citrus, the dustiness of the brewery. Immensely complex though young. Apple, honey, oak, lemon, sour cherries, marmelade, glue. Absolutely not too sour, but with a sharp edge. Great beer with enormous depth in aroma and flavor.

A Mes rate: Draught from December 2006 apparently. One of the best young lambics I have had. Smells very young and has an unbrewed malt hint to it. Very wheaty and has a smell that is incredibly similar to the brewery itself. Quiet amazingly so. Extremely strong malt for a lambic. Very unusual for a lambic so young. Yum!
