Lambic

Lambics are beers brewed in the region of the Pajottenland Southwest of- and in Brussels proper. The malt bill is 60-70% malted barley and 40-30% un-malted wheat and left over night to catch the wild yeats and bacteria of the Zenne Valley, over 80 microorganisms have been found in Lambics.. After the fermenting process, the beer is aged in barrels – mostly from sherry or port wine casks although wine barrels are used too. As the yeast will cover the beer with a pellicle of organisms it is protected by oxidation. Unblended Lambic is cloudy, undercarbonated and very sour.
