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

On tap @ Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 07. Clear amber coloured with no head. Nice and well balanced. One of the more sour ones - yum! Citrus and wood notes.

Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 07. Gold. Nose is lemonheady strawberry, cherry, light clay. Flavor is lemon acid at first, earthy pits, funk. Fruit in the finish. More fully developed than many others from this evening.

Draught. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is sweetish, but yet very sour wooden and slightly grassy. Flavour is sour fruits along with earth and mould. Quite tasty and pleasant.

A Mes rate: Draught. Dry lemony hop nose. Fruity and dry in the mouth. Lots more lemon folling on from the aroma, light spice and a very delicate tangy sweetness. Satisfying smooth palate. Tasty lambic.

Draught at weekend of spontanious fermentation. Clear amber coloured with no head. Acidic aroma of wood and petroleum. Acidic flavour of wood. Very dry and tart finish. Too acidic for me.

A very nice and so complex taste. With a long after taste. Still some sweetness in it. Beer from 2005. Should be 5% alcohol

Draught Foxy-ochre beer; small transparant rim. Ghurkins, sage, wood, a lot of saddlesoap, bit of pineapple. Still some (restrained) sweetness, despite its 2 years; lemon, dry hay or straw, pineapple flavours. In the MF, the real age shows: dryness, very light bodied, long, tannine-rich aftertaste. Very good lambic, not only because of its palate, but also because of its blending potency.
