According to this,

yes, if possibly somewhat late in period (earliest known written
reference is 16th century, and describes the process as being from an
old recipe).

Certainly soured wheat beers and lightly hopped ales flavored with
spices and fruits, are. An early post-period, non-Belgian example I'm
particularly fond of is the Giulielma Penn recipe for apple beer,
which is a hopped ale made using apple juice instead of water, for
mashing one's barley malt, then hopped and fermented like any other
ale. Which is different from lambic, but still...

Hey boss, you got a reference for that post-period dealy?  Apple and barley
could be scrumptious in beer.
