Lindemans Oude Gueuze Pure

Tap to rate

One brew, one barrel: this lambic was brewed on 13 March 2017, aged seven years in a single oak foeder and then refermented in the bottle. Sherry-like notes, subtle oak and a gentle acidity in the aroma; the taste is clean and vibrant, slightly sour with soft oak undertones and a delicate dryness. Brilliant gold with lively bubbles, 7 % ABV, only 12,000 bottles.

Mid-palate reveals soft oak tannins and a delicate dryness that maintains clarity throughout, while subtle funky elements add complexity without obscuring the refined character. The interplay between acidity and wood creates a harmonious, vibrant sensation.
