Hanssens

Lambic with equal amounts of blackcurrents and raspberries added.

Experimental brew w/ black currants; Version 1-2008: only 10 special cases made; 6.0% This listing is for BOTH the bottled version, as for the draught cassislambic, as they are essentialy the same beer!

Ale fermented with raspberries and matured in oak barrels.

Unblended 1-year-old lambic. Please note the age of the sample you are reviewing when entering your rating. While many factors determine whether you have had "Jonge" or "Oude" Lambik, a general rule of thumb is to enter 1 year-old or older lambik under "Hanssens Oude Lambik" and anything less than 6 months-old under "Hanssens Jonge Lambik". For those between 6 and 12 months of age, you should take in to consideration the character of the lambik. Samples presenting themselves as hazy/cloudy, with some head-formation and residual sugar should be entered as "Jonge Lambik", while those that are drier, higher in clarity and with little/no head formation should be entered as "Oude Lambik".

Unblended lambic with cherries

Unique blend of 70% Hanssens Traditional Gueuze and 30% classic Lurgashall Mead.

This unique, refreshing beer appetizer is the result of amalgamating fresh strawberries with lambic during summer.

As with all Gueuzes, Hanssens is a mixture of several vintages to produce a lambic which is refreshingly fruity. This is the result of blending different lambics of different ages. The second fermentation takes place inside the bottles and therefore they are stored for minimum six months in constant temperature kept cellars.

This is the result of blending black cherries lambic of different ages followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. Storage is similar like geuze. All bottles are champagne corked and can be reserved, in normal conditions, for more than thirty years. It is obvious that an amazing taste evolution takes place.

Lambic brewed with wild Belgian Schaerbeek sour cherries.
