Lambic Discussion Thread

[The Red Viper]

I've had both Pineau d'aunis and Lambic d'aunis and I preferred pineau d'aunis. Might just be that my palate has changed.

Also, I liked Carignan a lot more than Lambic d'aunis when I've had them side by side last month. Most people would disagree to that.

I also thoght Carignan was much better. But I think St Lam is better than either, so...

This year's Mûre has started shipping out - the UK distributor got their shipment today.

It looks like this year's Mûre is roughly 3x last years.

Thanks Lambic.info!

Hopefully this sees wide distribution in the US.

Fresh, albeit limited, wave of Girardin hittin around here. $14 a 375ml? Harsh.

This is exactly what the terrorists wanted when they stopped allowing the online sale of bulk lambic packs. Thats about what it use to cost per bottle to have 750ml bottles delivered to your door (including overseas shipping.)

**** distribution markup. **** PA's antiquated three tiered system.

This is why we cant have nice things.

What's the sudden craze about lambic anus?

I have somehow never tasted Mûre. I was literally sitting at a table with Pierre last June with an open bottle on the table and neglected to pour some for myself.

Tickers gotta tick. At the asking price, you might as well buy a round trip to Brussels and drink at the brewery.

Lol. Anus sucks taste wise.

The whisky-infused Indulgence was pretty good. Would bang this.

I made a sausage cuvee for breakfast once. Andouille, pork smoked sausage, beef smoked sausage, and chorizo. Peppers, onions, hash, queso blanco, lime, cilantro, and soft scrambled eggs to make a glorious breakfast taco. It was a sausage fest in my mouth.

All my lambic had been packed up for about 6 months during a move/babies, but I had what I thought was a decently up to date spreadsheet of what I had.

Pretty fun unpacking it and finding things I forgot existed it's drankin time

With me, there's always stuff on my spreadsheet that I try to go find and realize I drank it a year ago

When did the zero-carb fill to the brim become a beer photography trope?

No Boon glassware on hand, so this will have to suffice. 3/26/15 bottling. Simply an incredible geuze. Major carbonation with the cork flying off once the cage was removed, but not a gusher, just a slow ride to the top. Great earthy nose with some lemon citrus in there. Taste is very reminiscent of Girardin geuze here. Slight bitter bite, some leather, orange peel on the back end. Exceptionally effervescent and delicious all around.

Agreed. Opened one for the first time yesterday and was really impressed. I slightly preferred the 2014 Girardin opened next to it though.

2011 GB - lots of depth, brightness has mellowed, hay, FUNK and lots of oak shining through from that 4-year lambic
2014 GB - bright, citrus rind, funky, oaky, but not as deep in profile as the 11
PdN obvi - huge sour plum, light funk...considerably more sour than the last time I had it 3 months ago and better than reg Quetsche
2012 Girardin - as if Cantillon Gueuze spent a touch more time in the barrel (big oak, but lacking funk per my tastes) far from as complex and deep as 3F, but a really nice geuze nonetheless
2012 3F OG - that's more like it, the funk is back
2015 RdG - sour jam...razzles galore...very nice. A few more years should give way to deeper funk.
