Ahh Bambic. A blend of about 70% Bam Biere and 30% Lambicus Dexterius that was created especially for the Winking Lizards 25th Anniversary. This is from the second release of Bambic and my how it's gotten better since the first blend!
Appearance: Cloudy gold with a nice white head that leads to some wonderful lacing once the head dissipates.
Smell: The usual JP funk, some lemon, grapefruit, and oaken aromas.
Taste: Very sour with a nice acidic bite. Very much like the smell, lemony with grapefruit and a nice touch of Brett. It finishes very dry with a good amount of oak from the barrels.
Mouthfeel: A nice and crisp carbonation that ends slightly astringent.
Drinkability: Very nice, could drink a few of these while still being able to enjoy every sip!
I would pair Bambic with rich foods such as duck, pork, venison, or greasy foods; the sourness would help cut through the richness and help cleanse your palette. Also like most sours it would go very well with some rich/funky/barnyard-like cheeses.
