I thought t^2 did to regular tilquin what golden blend did to OG. The nose is incredible.

Damn, now I'm going to have to seek out and buy some T^2. I was trying to convince myself I didn't need it.

In other lambic news, this haul landed today:

3 DeCam Oude Kriek
2 DeCam Framboise Lambiek
Vigneronne
5 Cantillon Bio Geuze

I started to be jealous of that Vigneronne before I remembered it's the least good of those four beers.

 

[ASUBeer]

I love Vignerrone but those DeCams are where it's at. Oude Kriek mmmmmmmm.

 

[HeadytheElder]

I wish they would send some De Cam Oude Kriek to the US.

Found tons of 375s but zero 750s. Whats the deal? Mass not get any at all?

 

[SeaWatchman]

Extra-strong, I think. I forget the story.

Something along the lines of not happy with how a batch came out, so they threw it back in barrels, aged it another year, and then mixed it with two more batches. Bam! Tilquin Squared.

They said the problem was the bottles were over carbonated so they put back in barrels for a while instead of releasing.

Oude Gueuze Tilquin à l'Ancienne (Gueuze)² is the product of a batch of regular Oude Gueuze Tilquin à l'Ancienne that overcarbonated in the bottle. As a result of this overcarbonation, the bottles were emptied into an oak barrel again for another period of maturation. The result was subsequently bottled a second time as Oude Gueuze Tilquin à L'Ancienne (Gueuze)². Both 37,5cl and 75cl bottles were bottled in January 2014.

I reckon both that and the Cuvee Kriek are very overlooked. Great price, great quality and always on shelves around here.

Sadly, Cuvee kriek doesn't come to the U.S.

$17 for 750ml here in aus. It's strange that there is no US distribution if we get it.

It's because the importer thinks the general consumer will confuse it with the highly popular sweetened kriek that we don't get it here.

It is fun watching people be "serious" into their lambic game on social media, with photos of the sweetened versions. Talking it up like they know their lambics.

You mean like all those times Forgetfu and I drank a bunch of Timmermans and De Troch beers for entire weekends?

 

[LukeAleTime]

Did you ever talk about their great "syrupy notes"?

Lambicstompers (not looking up the spelling) is seriously delicious. Why isn't all Boon gueuze that good? *******.

That hasn't been my experience but I'll have to check now. Mariage Parfait has always been good, but not that good, and I can't really remember the regular that well...

 

[loeyjarko]

Just had the t^2 and it was top.

 

[matedog]

Anyone see t^2 in the bay area? I have only checked OL and Beer Rev with no success.

City Beer still had 375s as of Friday. Not a ton of them, though.

Really happy to hear this. I bought a decent amount in hopes of sitting on a few bottles over the years
