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.

We had a bottle of '14 boos last weekend and found it nicely carbed. This was my first and only time having it so I don't have much to compare it to. Having said that, it didn't resemble the "flat" notes and comments I've read recently.

very very little carb when i had it last month. less than the new batch of doesjel.

Same experience two months ago, hoping the second bottle carbs up with a heap of time on it.

 

[Stevedore1]

Maybe leave it out at room temperature. Let the yeastie beasties do their work.

Hoping a beer that has been bottled for two years and hasn't fully carbed up eventually will is about like hoping your thirty year old kid will finally move out of your house.

 

[BadJustin]

Was that ever confirmed anywhere?

Nope

It exists, so confirmed. Helpful, I know. Fun podcast nonetheless.

I'm also not exactly why some people get so hung up on carbonation.

WASN'T CHAMPAGNE LEVEL CARBED, DRAIN POUR.

Might be a little still, but it tastes great. That's what I'm in for.

Alan Sprints, is that you?

 

[wyatt1]

I pick up a weird vinegar taste in the three bottles I have had since release.

My bloatee game is much too weak for that confusion

Id rather a beer be flat than over-carbed.
There is a certain "carbonic" character that gets imparted in excessively bubbly beer that I cant stand even after trying to degass it

 

[SeaWatchman]

Ahhhhhh yeah!

Since when does he pour out beer?

Mine was a reference to his QC

lol, both fair points, I thought you had missed my point and this missed your point when in fact we were both on point...

 

[mjohnson171]

Ahhhhhh yeah!

This made my day. I was previously under the assumption that it would fall on Saturday, Sept 17th since the past few years its been in the middle of September. I had a wedding on the 17th. Now it appears I can attend Zwanze!

I haven't read any of the past few pages but this talk of carbonation reminded me that I had a Tilquin gueuze the other day and it was almost painful how carbonated it was. I could tell there was a great neer there but that carb was so off putting, I couldn't look past it. Anyone else experience that?

This Hommage '15 I'm drinking right now though is pretty much perfect in every way.

This is the reason why Tilquin^2 exists, and I'm so happy it does.

There's a video as well, but I can't seem to embed it.

From the Instagram description:


"Armand proudly showing the first Oude Geuze 100% assembled with 3Fonteinen's own brewed lambic, appropriately named Cuvée Armand&Gaston as a hommage to the person who started it all and the person who persisted, headstrong and stubborn. A milestone after the many hard years. The future is looking bright for 3Fonteinen."

Just called some shops, it's not in yet but will be very soon.
Bierhalle deconinck said they will only get 6 or 7 bottles. So pretty limited.

 

[Wino1]

Can't wait for beeradvocate to get ahold of this news. "Find the shittiest deal on BA" thread is going to be some nice entertainment
