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

On tap at Weekend der Spontane Gisting, Opstal, Belgium. Shared with lovely Anja. Hazy dirty golden, minimal head. Aroma is mostly fruity with no obvious acidity. Ripe apple, quince, some dried fruit, some honey, some spice, yeasty. Barnyard coming through. Flavour is tart and vinous, cardboardy. Not very subtle. Chlorophenols? Apple in the finish. Some astringency. Light acidic. Light body. Puckering. I'm not sure about this one to be honest.
Jedna z ikon zstylu, w aromacie stajnia, komska derka, dzikie nuty. Bez piany, klarowne, złote, przyjemnie kwaskowe
Serverad ur kanna på bryggeriet. Tack Vignale. Osäker på ålder med vätskan var klar, utan kolsyra eller större sötma så jag tänker att den var minst ett år. Mjuk och rund och inte jättesyrlig. Snyggt när smakerna verkligen kommer fram då den är relativt varm och utan kolsyra. Fat, stall, äpple, citrus och den där lambickaraktären som är svår att beskriva i ord. Doft som som luften doftade i bryggeriet. Mycket gott.
It is 12 month old so I put it here yet hazy.
F: no at all only several clear bubbles.
C: gold, quite hazy.
A: malty, bit woody, some apples, bit caramel, cherries compote, cheesy.
T: light fruity, woody with light tannins, peach, cheesy, not sour, bit caramel, medium body and no carbonation, very easy drinkable, really enjoyable beer, glass from barrel @ Cantillon.

From cask. Almost clear light golden color with creamy white foam. Aroma has bright floral and citrusy yeast notes. Taste is tart and yeasty, quite funky with dusty wood notes. Slightly acidic on the aftertaste. Soft carbonation, really smooth feel.
On tap at brewery 2 years old. Pours pale gold almost no co2. Aroma is sappy, apple cider, funky. Taste follows. Light body, sour, lighter than the guezue. Refreshing and enjoyable.
Directly fresh from the barrel @ Cantillon brewery, Brussels, 14 months old. Unclear golden, no head. Lime, grapefruit peel, vinegar, old dry white wine, acidity, apple wine. Acidic sourness, some bitter hint. Light bodied, no carbonation, long intense sour finish, palatable and refreshing.
Vom Fass (Single Barrel 2017-03 non-sparkling 16 month old) im Muted Horn Berlin 2018-08 getrunken. Nein dieses Lambic erinnert sehr an Weinessig. Dazu wirkt dieses non-sparkling fast tot und leblos. Ich glaube mit so was kann ich mich nicht wirklich anfreunden.
(18 mois, on tap sorti du fût, jaune, nez > moût vin, bouche ∞-plate, raisin blanc (vin blanc sec), rude, bois wet)
From the barrel at the brewery, 33cl pour, lightly hazy orange, no head. Nose is light, some citrus, a little cheese, neutral oak, green grape. Flavor is similarly mild, orange and lemon, cheese cloth, some light stone fruit, a little neutral wood. Almost buttery. Finishes oily and lightly tart.
From tap, 1 yr old. Clear golden, still pour. Dry, slightly tart, grassy with citrus, heavy vinegar a bit of rubber. Pretty nice.
15 months old, from a jug at the brewery, Brussels. Pours dark gold with no head. Aroma is sour, sharp pungent cheese and lemon. Taste has light lemon and straw to start with a strong sour cheese finish.
On tap at moeder. Medium pale honey with a thick head residing. Scent is medium notes of slightly stinky sour ale. Taste is lovely sour lambic with light notes of balsamic and taste of grapes. Medium sour and soft. Very great.
Appearance: Orange with dark golden hue, slight haze. Not much head.
Aroma: Tart and sour fruits. Apples? 19th century wooden house that should, maybe, be demolished to build apartments instead.
Taste: More tart and sour fruits, slight wood. Ok, I guess.
Bought: Trade with Mart - thanks!, 500 ml crowler

Sourish aroma which to expect from lambic. orange, golden, clear, minimal head. Suspiciously plain body. light body, thin feel, soft carbonation.
Tap at taptap, Tallinn. Slightly hazy orange, small white head. Aroma of apples, barnyard, some acid, wood. Taste is woody, apples, bitterish-sourish, winey, citrus peels. Medium bodied, average carbo. Hops, hay in aftertaste. I like it, very interesting.
Keg 2 Ölrepubliken. Hazy burnt golden pour. Very pleasant cheesy funk. Grapefruit citrus. Basement funk. Very easy to drink.
Sample of 15 month lambic, poured from a jug at the brewery, after the tour. Pours a clear, golden color, with no head. The aroma is lemon peels, yogurt, leather and a bit of musty attic, and white bread. Off-dry flavor, with a bit of tartness and light funk. Medium body, with an acidic, thick feel, and no carbonation. This is a fun, and illuminating experience, but the beer itself isn't great. Flat, funky, and sharp.
15 month old, at the brewery. Great woody beginning. Sessionable, smooth. Not too funky, fresh, not too sour. Very deep with fruity fresh parts, wood and horse blanket. Fantastic.
On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Giallo antico, torbida, schiuma praticamente assente. Al naso sentori di pasta lievita, limone, mela grattugiata, stalla. In bocca è delicatamente acida, morbida, vinosa, leggermente tart. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Un po' timida.
Sample @ Cantillon. Pours clear golden with, still. Aromas of citrus, grapes, light vinegar, oak. Taste has light vinegar, citrus, lemony notes, grapes, apple juice, orange.
Frisch vom Hahn im Protokoll. Fast klares Altgold ohne Schaum. Karbonisation geht gegen 0. Anklänge von Scheuerlappen. Es gibt Besseres.
From the pitcher at the source (18 months old). Pours golden. Aroma is sour, dry, fruit, booze. Flavor is mild sourness, oak, bitterness, fruits. Finish is dry bitter. Overall: very good, I like the dryness.
