A true gem still on the shelves...
That’s right folks, just here today to tell you about a marvelous Lambic that we still have a few of here at City Spirits. This is a very unique traditional blended Lambic from Belgium, in fact only 5,333 bottles of this beer were ever made and we only have 1 left! Due to all the variables that go into brewing Lambics, aging them, blending, and finally bottle conditioning it is safe to say you will never taste a beer quite like this again. The nose consists of barnyard, lemon rind, grapefruit, minerals, and citric acid. It is delightfully crisp with mild carbonation and has a refreshing tartness as you’d expect from the style but by no means is an acid bomb. If you’re not a beer drinker but like the occasional Pinot Grigio, this beer is a must!
A little history to impress your friends when sharing this beer from Vanberg Dewulf:
“Lambics are truly the wines of the beer world. With wine one speaks of “gout de Terroir” because the land so influences a wine’s flavor. With Lambics, one must speak of “gout de Tonneau” because each cask (tonneau) produces a Lambic that matures and tastes different. Blending these Tonneau is such an art that there exist independent Geuzestekkerij (blenders) who buy young Lambic then age and bottle it under their own name.Lambickx™ is Vanberg & Famille’s brand of hand-selected and blended lambics. Every Lambic with the Lambickx™ name is made from casks personally tasted and chosen by Don Feinberg, one of the first importers of Belgian beer to America and founder of the first Belgian-only brewery in the U.S. Don chooses his Lambics for their complexity, brilliance and drinking excellence both by themselves and as exquisite accompaniments to food.”
