Commercial Description:
Only available straight from cask at the brewery or in a very few traditional pubs in the direct neighborhood of Vlezenbeek.

Attention! This is not the bottled 1996 vintage to be found in Swedish Systembolaget or in speciality shops in Belgium. If you had "Lindemans Oude Lambik 1996 Vintage" or "Lindemans Loeierik", then you have to enter a rating for "Lindemans Oude Lambik (Loerik)".

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

A Mes rate. Draught at DHVL with our Tom.
This was really rather good. I wasn’t expecting much but it was so full of character. Tarty, yet very drinkable. Plenty of funk but not over the top. As Tom says, there is a certain cheesey feel about it. Went really well with our food. Good stuff.

Very muddy dun colour. Megastank nose of rotting fruit, pear and light barrel. Thin and cidery with a light toastiness. As it goes with unblended lambic, you don’t always win.
