Commercial Description:
The original brewed Lambic. Letting this beer age for 1, 2 or 3 years and mixing those for fresh Lambic makes a Gueuze. A Gueuze is also bottle conditioned which gives it carbonation. The Lambic however is complete flat without bubbles. Available only in draught form.

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

Aroma: apples, pears, and mozzerlla cheese water, some spices and maybe some stewed tomatoes
Appearance: golden yellow-orange
Flavor: some startchiness--like potatoes, some spices and some stewed tomatoes or tomato sauce
Palate: smooth with weird vegetable taste--this really isn’t working...

Tap @ Plan B., Cph.
Pours clear golden with no head. Aroma is tart, but with a sugary sweetness and lots of oaky wood. Almost completely flat, small, tiny bubbles on the tongue. Flavour is softly tart, lots of fresh oakiness, good lactic sourness and funkiness. Stays on my teeth all the way through!
