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

@WSF. Hazy honey color and flat. Excellent aroma has banana skins. Is gorgeous smelling. Silky mouthfeel. Bitter, with citrus pith. One of the bitterest of the lambiks with grapefruit, wood, earth, and lovely bitterness again...

Sample at Tour de geuze 2009. Golden-brown, clear, no head. Smell and taste: lactic acid and old wood. Little flat. Not my favorite lambic.

Sampled at Zythos 2009. Thanks to Mesandsim for getting this from their good friend at the beer stand. Clear gold, no head. Cheesy lambic aroma. It’s not very attractive. Lacks character as a lambic. Bit of a sting on the finish. Bit woody. Dullish. 2.8. re-rate from tap at White Horse Parson’s Green 18 months old. Very decent lemony lambic with a touch of wood. Really nice lemony notes not too acidic, but with the lemon drizzle cake edge to it. Does remind me a lot of an English cider.
