Surprised they didn't offer to give you another bottle to replace the bad one.
This is where tact at the bar took its toll and we decided not to call it out to the bartender. It's rough to question a bottle when it's so highly touted by the knowledgeable bar staff. Hindsight is 20/20.
 
we shared a bottle at the Pre-Borefts tasting and the consensus was that it was a great beer, but not a complete wow. However, some experienced people found that it was the best beer of the evening, and there were quite a few other great brews among them.

I thought it was the weakest De Cam I've ever tried, and also not much nectarine. Still a nice beer, but I thought it disappointing.
 
I had one of these at Moeder the other night...

I found these for you at the Abattoir in Anderlecht.

It's not even about geographical or microbial make up for me. I've got several longer posts in gnr L.I Facebook group you can reference thigh as I'm stepping away from the computer for a bit.

I don't have facebook, so I clearly haven't read your posts. Cliffs notes version?

JK wanted to pay homage to the gueuze style, and thats why I posted it here - a thread discussion on all things lambic. This isn't just an american wild ale, its a blend of 3 years of wild ales in the style of gueuze.

Don't waste your breath, man. I think you'd have a better change of convincing people to change their vote over in the Erection thread.

I'm honestly not trying to change anyone's mind. I am genuinely curious about his thoughts on the topic. This is, afterall, a lambic discussion thread.

But it's not Lambic. Ergo, it shouldn't be in this thread, and Adam shouldn't have to read/talk about not-lambic in a lambic discussion thread.

Please :rolleyes: It's a typical TalkBeer response. I'll elaborate when I'm actually at a computer. Of course it's not lambic, JK says as much.
 
I'm honestly curious and would like to discuss. I'll wait until you get back to your computer. I believe this is a legit conversation topic.
 
Hey all. I'm relatively new to gueuze and I have a bottle of Lou Pepe Gueuze (2013 sticker) coming in the mail. Never tried it before but is it even worth drinking this young? Its not something that is "easy" for me to come across so I'm curious if it would be worth trying fresh. I was planning on aging it for at least three more years but I'd like some input. Thanks.

In most cases, when people get 1 bottle of a beer they may not get again and ask this question, I usually say drink it fresh so you know what it tastes like.

However, in this case, I really think you should sit on it for at least a year. Others will probably recommend longer.
 
Sounds good, thanks for the advice! Looking forward to getting more into this crazy and wonderful world of lambics/gueuze.

I had one recently and thought it tasted really young and undeveloped. I really like aged LPG, so I'm a bit biased there, but the other recent ones were better fresh, IMO. Who knows if it'll age, though I thought there was a good base for it (part of my problem was that it seemed to have a lot of residual sugar for a "gueuze"). If you have a good space for aging then this is one time I'd recommend sitting on it.

The 2012 was great about six months ago. Just get yourself some stinky cheese to go with it and crack it anytime.
