Oud Beersel Green Walnut 75cl

Style and Colour: Lambic Gueuze with green walnut

Taste: Delicate balance between the light sourness of the Lambic beer and the bitterness of the green walnuts. Subtle hints of nut, wine, red fruits and wood provided by the oak wine barrels.

Alcohol: 6 % ABV

Drinking Temperature: 12° C  

Fermentation: Blend of 1- and 2-year old lambics with fresh green walnuts added. In July the still green walnuts are gathered in the Oud Beersel orchard and are added to the Lambic beer that matured in oak wine barrels. The green walnuts macerate in the Lambic beer enabling them to unfold their taste and flavour. Unfiltered and unpasteurised, it is refermented in the bottle.

The Brewery: The brewery was founded in 1882 by Henri Vandervelden in Beersel, southwest of Brussels.

Origin: Following the French and Italian tradition of producing Vin de Noix and Nocino from green (unripened) walnuts, Oud Beersel's Green Walnut lambic is the first commercially released lambic to contain nuts of any kind.

Food: Pairs wonderfully with blue cheese and dried ham.
