Really enjoying tilquin squared (again). Lots of oak and lemon, perfect funky balance. Cork exploded off can't wait to taste have a bottle explode in my cellar in a few years.

Excellent. I know people have been raving over the 10/31/14 bottling as well. Have many, many 10/30s available to me at the moment.

Gimme.

Thanks for the heads up!

Crushing a 375 of 3F OG bottled 06FEB13

It's ******* delicious. lemon on the nose, some hay and manure. Sharp acidity with a good earthy countercurrent and a bit of bitterness in there with some metal in the finish. Sharp and bubbly.

I used to really dislike 3F OG, but this is really good and makes me excited to get more.

Wait until you get to the 2014's with Armand lambic in it, life changing!

Who's Armand?

 

[tennispl]

Who's Armand?

You're such a bitch.

 

[sacrelicio]

TNGabe and beerontwowheels I'm astonished at how seriously you take the internet. I really don't want to take up more space in an informative thread but seriously, what's with all the jabs? So what I made a joke, so what I made an account. Why do you care so much? Sad really.

Why does every homie post some version of this retort when they get mad? Cracks me up how similar they all are.

 

[harrymel1]

Turnin' tricks day in and day out.

 

[wyatt1]

I need more 3F OG while it is still easy to order it online.

I know I wouldn't be able to stand after that.

Late 2013 has Armand lambic in it too. #justsayin

The most recent 2013 vintages that etre listed for sale were exactly that batch (all sold out now).

 

[stupac2]

What were the standouts of the evening?

Not Aigre. Made my throat hurt. I can understand why it was sold as vinegar.

 

[matedog]

Saw the check ins on untappd, but similar to Henrik's questions, could you make any generalizations on how different beers developed based on the different vintages? Looked like the framboise fruit fell off considerably and the gueuze predicatably held up well.

Nothing that should be news to anyone. Fruit beers fade quickly, gueuze and straight lambic don't. LPK is the only exception (though the one we had wasn't even that old), but, again, shouldn't be news to anyone.

Also interested in the 50N4E side-by-side. Thoughts?

 

[jedwards]

I'll post a full set of notes in this thread when I'm not on the phone. The 50N4E wasn't even close -- batch 1 still has that great richness and the funk is better than ever. Batch 2 still thin & cider-y in comparison.

 

[jwazzy]

Thoughts on de troche? Had the OG tonight. Thought is was very good. Cheap as well IMO. Showed up a bit ago in my area, I might go grab a few more.

This has already shown up on some of the Facebook lambic groups but is worth repeating here:

Never commercially released bottle of Cantillon Gueze from 2009. When I visited Cantillon in 2009, I convinced Jean van Roy to sell me an unblended bottle from 2004 and an unblended bottle from 2009. This listing is for the 2009 bottle (see my other listing for the 2004 bottle). The bottle is unlabled with Gueze 2004 hand-written and is capped and corked in the typical Cantillon style. I hand carried this back (and many others) from the Cantillon brewery. It has been stored upright in my cellar in the dark since its purchase. I will only ship to the lower 48 states. I ship within 48 hours of payment.

Hard to know where to even start with this shitlord level omega content.

I don't really get why people love 50N. Both of them are solidly below the gueuzes/fruited stuff, and 2012 is worse.

Well if you know what subjective means then you should "get" why people may love 50n.

No, those people are just wrong.
