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.

2007 lambic from a plastic barrel in The Rake. Clearish gold colour. God this was good. The right level of funk, acidity but really smooth as well and would happily have drunk this all night. Based on Girardin apparently.

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

Cask @ redlight redlight. 1.5 year old. Pours a almost hazeless gold with a slight ring of tiny bubbles around the rim. Pucker up. Nose of earthy brett, acidic, musty, lemons and some honey. Tart, citrus, leather, very minerally, gets more acidic and aggressive the more you have, though still quite drinkable. Dry sour finish. Gives a scratchy/peppery tingle at the back of the throat. Very good! Glad Brent got this in!

cask @ redlight redlight. cask is 1 of 4 packaged on 02-10-09. Beer is 1 1/2 years old. Tart apple skins and granny smith apples, vinegar with hints of sweet malts. Pours a hazy golden color no head. Citric and acidic upfront, tart apple skins, very earthy, with some lemon juice. It finishes very dry. Excellent lambic!

Draught at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation. Aroma is beautiful and complex. With lots of oak, tart, fruity aromas and of course all the stuff people call barnyard, hay and so on. Amber color, shiny, almost clear, no head. Sweet start but soon tart, sour, oak and very fruity. Sticky and soft. Yummy!

Golden with a slight haze. Slightly footy, with pear accents. Tart and lemony, also slightly leathery and dusty. Thoroughly delicious and refreshing.
