Lambic Discussion Thread

[sunnrider]

Any carb issues in the latest Hommage or is that merely a Framboos situation?

Had a Framboos last week, carb was fine.

 

[LukeAleTime]

I had a Golden Blend recently, I'd highly recommend picking up a couple of bottles if you can it's really quite delicious.

Oh yeah I'm all over GB. '11 is my favourite beer.

Having one tomorrow, will report back as well.
On a separate note the 13 Hommage we had tonight still had some band aids on it.

This Owa - Yuzu Lambic just has a ridiculous amount of yuzu fruit and peel in it with a balanced funkiness. Definitely worth a try if anyone can get their hands on this.

Probably not the correct place to ask this, but can someone provide a link to assist in shipping internationally from the states? I'd be shipping to Belgium. Thanks!

...just don't declare it as alcohol.

Unless you're looking to ship bulk - then it's probably advisable to research an outlet with the proper licenses and experience.

There was a whole thread on this but a quick search and I couldn't find it.

Are those wangs emerging from a pool of water on the label?

Drank a Doesjel while in the shower tonight and it got me thinking... why do they cost more per bottle than normal 3f gueze? I mean, its essentially the same thing just lazy to the carb, right? Regardless it was great and just further fueled my suspicion that I really enjoy still lambic.

my guess is the price tag is more on the importers and distributors marking it up a bit more due to it being fairly limited. I remember when the 375s of 2006 doesjel hit in my area they were $10 a piece which is pretty much inline with geuze pricing. the 750s were more expensive than the geuze

Does anyone know how HORAL megablend 2009 is doing? I just got three bottles of 2011 and it's seriously good right now, having doubts about aging them further.

I had a 2009 about a month back. I was pretty drunk but it tasted great to me. No obvious problems, at least.

09 was there first crack at the mega blend, and is not the same beer as 11. So I don't think you can compare them for cellaring.

Yeah, I mean Boon had no idea what he was blending in 2008 when he created it....

I actually just opened both this weekend. '11>'09 for myself

Blended and bottled at Boon, but Timmermans info is on the back label?

Learn me somethin SeaWatchman.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was always under the impression that they were blended and bottled at Boon. I'm relatively certain that all of the back labels from 11, 13, and 15 are all Boon.

Drinking nicely, deep bracing funk, very approachable, has lots of life left!

Having one tomorrow, will report back as well.

Any news on this? Was considering opening my last Framboos this month. Previous two 2014's consumed were flat as hell.

Any news on that Armand & Gaston blend? Have vacation days ready to go to pillage Belgium

I had 2014 boos a few times at huna day (march) an the carb was totally fine. had one more bottle a few weeks later and same thing. I had a bottle when it first was released and was totally flat, but my last couple experiences were much different.

More carb than before but not fully carbed by any means. I'd give you tasting notes as well but I was pretty hammered at that point
I would recommend waiting a while
