 Saveur - A Beer Called Lambic
The beer is called lambic, and the traditional sort has an appetizing dryness, an invigorating tartness, and a complexity that rivals the finest sherry's; it's a beer boasting aromas suggesting everything from lush fruit to mineral earth; a beer that makes you suspect that everything else you know about beer is a lie.
For centuries, café owners and beer distributors bought lambic from the brewers after it had been inoculated by the wild yeasts but before fermentation truly took hold, then fermented and aged the beer in their own barrels in their own cellars.
But it is the fruit beers-young lambics blended with 25 to 28 percent pure fruit juice-that make up the overwhelming majority of this country brewery's annual sales of more than 10 million bottles of beer.
