Myrtille was great. Rhubarb could use more rhubarb

I got some serious butyric acid in the Rhubarbe. Pretty off-putting once I noticed it.

But that Quetsche/Mûre blend (La Famille) was insanely good. Myrtille and Groseille were almost as good.

Somewhat off topic here, but after foraging for Bilberries in the Finnish forrest ive come to realize that the flavor profile of Blaeber should NOT be the flavor profile most Americans associate with blueberries. Im sure this is a "duh" type thought for most europeans, but i'd wager that many (if not most) Americans have not tried bilberries and thus are surprised when Blaeber doesnt taste like american blueberries. Tasting them put a few things into perspective for me. Thought i'd share.

Am I the only one who didn't really appreciate Citoyen this past weekend? Had it at the Porter tasting and at the festival VIP session. All I got was straight passionfruit juice each time. Closer to an Answer crowler than Lambic. Very minimal funk and just super sweet.

i mean i appreciated it, but straight pfruit juice is spot on, with minimal funk. definitely did NOT taste acetic acid though.

In my experience, most Europeans don't know the difference either.

Same goes for blueberries vs huckleberries which generally get lumped in (linguistically speaking) within the same realm.

3F Oude Kriek bottled 04/14/14

The standard 3F oude kriek bottles with a touch of age to them are so good. Tons of mineral cherry funk with really low acidity.

Well, I think it had more rhubard than Nath for example, I liked it but it was not my favorite of the series.

Ebenezer's Night of Great Thirst 2017

It was refreshing to taste beer that met hype. The event was an intimate experience consisting of my favorite kind of people. Each bottle of Bokkereyder had very noticeable differences of flavor. All some of the best lambic I have ever tasted. Even after splitting 18 bottles among 9 people and countless other pours, I was nowhere near lambic drunk. One day it will happen.

That is a pretty sneaky Forgetfu cameo.

So In accepting I will struggle to buy new Cantillon and Tilquin beers from the shelf I figured I should start buying up the local stashes of the other stuff.

Got a bunch of the regular Boon and then a load of this.

Going to go back for the 750's this weekend.

I need an everyday beer on hand in these trying times

You can't go wrong with Boon. Available, affordable, and ******* delicious.
