Unblended Oude Lambiek

Unblended Oude Lambiek is a traditional Belgian beer produced by Brouwerij Boon. It is a lambic beer, which means it is spontaneously fermented using wild yeast and bacteria present in the air. This beer is unblended, meaning it is not mixed with any other beers or flavors.

The brewing process of Unblended Oude Lambiek involves open-air fermentation in large shallow vessels called coolships. The beer is then aged in oak barrels for an extended period, typically between one to three years. During this aging process, the wild yeast and bacteria present in the beer interact with the wood, giving the beer its unique flavors and characteristics.

Unblended Oude Lambiek is known for its complex and tart flavor profile. It has a distinct sourness, often described as funky or barnyard-like, with notes of citrus, green apple, and oak. The beer has a dry finish and a moderate level of carbonation.

This beer is highly regarded among beer enthusiasts and is often sought after for its traditional brewing methods and unique taste. It is typically enjoyed on its own or used as a base for blending with other lambic beers to create gueuze or fruit lambics.

Brouwerij Boon, located in Lembeek, Belgium, has been producing traditional lambic beers since 1975. They are known for their commitment to traditional brewing techniques and their dedication to preserving the heritage of Belgian lambic beers.
