Commercial Description:
Unlike many other unblended oude lambik, there exists both draft and bottled versions of De Cam Oude Lambiek.

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 "De Cam Oude Lambiek" and anything less than 6 months-old under "De Cam Jonge Lambiek".

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.

Draft at the De Cam Volkscafe. Sweetish, musty, somewhat fruity nose with hints of raspberry. Softly sparkling, lightly bitter, lightly sweet with a subtle tartness. Again, faint raspberry in the backdrop and aftertaste. Refreshing and enjoyable.

[9/6/08] Tap at De Cam Volkscafe in Gooik. Aroma of oak, cobwebs, cellar, and some fruits. A musty feel overall. Great sour flavor with wood, a bit of funk going on and some citric notes. Rounded mouthfeel. Really delicious.

Bottle at Akkurat, shared with Andreassen11 and plovmand. Damn this is great stuff! Lovely dry and smooth aroma with notes of grape, humid cellar and hints of wood and dust. The flavour is dry and nicely balanced, with mainly ripe grape notes only slightly bitter and with a late sweetness. Splendid!
