Description
Winter Lambiek from Oud Beersel offers an authentic taste of Belgian tradition, emerging from one of the last genuine lambic blenderies in the region of Beersel. With an ABV of 7.2% and zero bitterness units (IBU: 0), this sour beer is a quintessential representation of the lambic style, characterized by its spontaneous fermentation method. This process, exclusive to Belgium's Pajottenland region and the Zenne Valley, relies on the area's unique microflora to impart its distinctive tart and complex notes. Expect a unique profile that balances the tartness typical of lambics with subtle woody undertones, as it's matured for up to three years in oak barrels. This aging process enhances its depth, while the spontaneous fermentation yields a naturally sour character. The Winter Lambiek's lack of added bitterness allows its nuanced flavors to shine through unadulterated. Serving this beer at a temperature between 45°F and 50°F will ensure that its intricate flavors and aromas are at their most expressive. The optimal glassware for Winter Lambiek is a tulip glass, which captures the beer's vibrant aroma while allowing its effervescence to unfold gracefully. Pair Winter Lambiek with foods that complement its tartness and complexity. Its sharp acidity can cut through rich, fatty dishes like duck confit or a creamy cheese such as Brie. Alternatively, its fruity undertones can enhance the flavors of a well-crafted charcuterie board, providing a contrast to the savory elements. Whether celebrating a special occasion or exploring the depths of traditional Belgian brewing, Winter Lambiek offers a signature taste of Oud Beersel's storied heritage and innovation.
Customer reviews
-
sometimes these Belgian lambics work better for me than others. This one was interesting but probably not something I'd grab again soon. Prefer mine a touch less sour.
-
Brought this one to our yearly Friendsgiving dinner and it got everyone talking, super different from what we usually drink but in a good way. Cool change of pace, solid sipper for the season.
-
Honestly did not realize how strong it was until halfway through the bottle. Sneaks up with that 7 percent. Nice bite to it though, not too heavy.
-
Chilly night on the porch, opened a bottle of this Oud Beersel lambiek. Tart and a bit funky. Went great with some salty snacks. Would keep around for nights like this.
