I'd guess beersnobbin but his car has got to be worth at least twice that.

Decided to “treat myself”! Cork let go with a thump, one of those self removing ones Tasting great, lots of lemon and citrus up front. The overall flavor profile just feels super intergrated where sharp edges are replaced with complementing flavors...
Ah ****... this taste delicious!

So I guess the Pinot Noir distributing now is the same b2 and not a b3 as I had assumed? Interesting...

that shouldn't be the case. i know SC got b3 and Monks had it at their event.

 

[iong516]

Maybe the one I just bought was held back for release and b3 hasn't arrived yet? Anyone bought a newer bottle date Noir than 12/2016?

Yea the one I had was 17/18 season

 

[iong516]

Sorry for the mis.info, but I'm not disappointed about picking up the b2s

 

[2plums4one]

can anyone confirm carb on 17/18 pinot noir?
Also this was starting to get some apricot notes along with the mineral funk and cheese imho. Had to make do with the glass.

3F Kriekenlambik Blend 32 on Etre.

Drank one last night, great bottling. Similar to recent Intense Red blends without the amaretto character. Heavy fruit, low carb.

Anyone who knows the release date of Cantillon magnums season 17/18 ?

In July they were still selling season 16/17.

What are peoples thought son how bad temperature fluctuation is for lambic (particularly gueuze)? I am always concerned about buying them from somewhere refrigerated and then aging, or me deciding I think I'll drink one in the coming weeks, putting in the fridge, and then deciding to put it back in the cellar. Any thoughts would be appreciated.. yes, I recognize neither of these options are likely ideal- but, can it completely ruin much

I’m sure stupac2 has opinions.

About 7 years ago, I read an article where Dan Carey was asked about temperature fluctuations with packaged beer. It wasn’t specific to lambic but he basically said it doesn’t matter. Room temperature to fridge temperature and back again doesn’t have any measurable effects. Obviously really high temps are bad. Long term storage temps are more of your concern.

As Sherm said stupac2 will science you an opinion.

They've been around for quite a long time this year

Repeated large fluctuations over long time periods have been shown to be bad for other forms of alcohol, but unless you're storing it outside for a few years the only negative effects would be if you let it spend a lot of time hot or slushy cold (or let it get SUPER hot or actually frozen for any length) during the fluctuations. One swap to fridge and back to cellar should have basically no effect.

Does anyone know if De Cam ever bottled a 5 year old lambic? Cant find anything on .info

I’m sure Karel will put out a misleading label if you ask him to whilst petulantly complaining about people misleading others by putting their beer in kegs.

Jeff Sparrow asserts as much in "Wild Brews" but that's the only place I've ever seen it mentioned.

Beat me to it. It’s a little too pricey for me.

Just had that discussion with wuntrik. The etre price of hommage and framboos seems to be closing the gap on what secondary sales are going for.
