To me, it is like the Brussels Champagne- almost like a raw champagne even. I’ve written to you about Belgium Lambic beer in the past, but this one is especially unique.

It goes through a second fermentation in the bottle, and the yeast factor is definitely present. I personally like that taste and texture, though it isn’t for everyone. It is all about drinking what you like, and for me it is heavenly.

This one is nothing like the usual fruit filled Lindemans Lambics, this one is completely raw- like a raw champagne. It is not so much like a beer than it is a wine almost, it even does better with age. It is not uncommon to store Belgium beers for several years to appreciate at a later time- they age extremely well.

They are generally served in the tall thin glasses as in the photo below (most bars that serve lambics have the specially designed glasses) but at home the best I have at the moment are my chimay glasses which I think works lovely with this one- it is almost like a champagne goblet and this being a Brussels champagne like beverage, it does beautifully.

P.S. What are you doing for Repeal Day? Am getting ready for it myself with a very special drink! I’ll show it to you tomorrow
