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.

[Vintage 1995, bottled 2000, sampled 2004] The color is a hazy dark yellow and it has a small lasting white head. The aroma is very nice sharp and sour - just like a lambic should be. The flavor is a sharp fresh lambic flavor with notes of lemon. The end is very dry and lemony. It is somewhat flat from low carbonation, but it is very fresh for a beer bottle 4 years ago and brewed 9 years ago. A great lambic.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Pours a hazy, golden with a white head. Distinct, sour Brett and vinegar in the nose. Light and watery body with a very flat feel. Dry, sour vinegar notes. Astringent finish. 100507

Bottled. Hazy pale orange. Hay and cobweb aroma. Barnyardy with medium acidity, fairly hard, dense mouthfeel. Strikingly hoppy for a lambic. Bitter finish with a touch of iron.

37.5 cL bottle - bottled 2000, after 5 years - tasted 2009 - 14 years old, courtesy of Ungstrup - cheers Jens! Pours hazy orange with a fully gone head. Dry barnyard and orange fruity aroma. Dry and sour initial flavoured. Bone dry. Mild citric and acidic with a vague fruity accent and vague malt presence. Dry, sour and wooden finish. Lovely.
