Damnit, the site wont change for me, how are you guys visiting a new site?

Step 1. Get on lambic
Step 2. Clear your browser's cache

 

[GetchaPull]

I wish they still had the brewery drop-down menu vice having to scroll through logos at the bottom of the homepage.

 

[rrrjjj]

Nothing works on my phone. I want to buy a bunch of ******** too

 

[2plums4one]

Could care less if it looks old, the new site lacks functionality and sucks to navigate.

Regardless, I just dropped $100 on some honey lavender ******** and fresh OG.

agreed, and yea that's tempting. So many sites in 2018 are built exactly like that.

I’m having the same issue. No luck on phone, computer, or any browser. Very weird

I changed my VPN over to a Belgian server and was able to see the new site.

 

[Gaseous Clay]

Ended up getting it to work with the kindness of a beer buddy. Thanks to the one who knows!

For what it’s worth, still can’t see the new site on my computer or phone.

 

[2plums4one]

oh yea I'm on VPN but with a US address if that matters.

 

[Dbijnagte]

Took me a while to get it to work, Ctrl+f5 then restarted the computer and that got it going. Bought a bunch of vat 109 and the limit 6 on A&G.

 

[nathanmiller]

Wow this is a downgrade.

 

[nathanmiller]

Eh but I still ordered a bunch of A&G.

Herberg is a brand new-ish one. I had their Oude Lambiek in Amsterdam, it wasn’t bad but it’s my understanding that they may not be using a koelschip yet. So still in the primary research phases for us.

Yeah I’m still ****** like a can of biscuits over here.

some honey lavender ********

Etre is wrong though. It's A&G with lavender honey, not honey AND lavender.

Really?

From Lambic.info:
56th blend of the 2016-2017 season. This particular geuze is blended with lambics aged on 7 different barrels, originating from wort of 7 different brews. Just before bottling, lavender and linden honey were added to the blend. 5.0% ABV

Can we get a ruling?

Direct copy from the label. It’s lavender (honey) linden honey.

Ah, syntax gunna syntax!

Also, can we try lavender in lambic now? Curious.

Not sure I have seen any 475’s of this around here. Thanks capnmike

Panda what say you?

 

[Panda1]

I haven’t had to many lambics, but a couple years ago my buddy Adam sent me this and wanted me to save it for a special occasion. Unfortunately I am super impatient and decided doing dishes with tosh in my first ever house sounded like a good enough reason. Thanks Adam wherever you are, this is awesome!

A few lambic shots and tasting notes from the this weekend’s Good Vibes Festival at Voodoo!

Pjassel 2017: 2 year old lambic with red vineyard peaches. First time trying this and it had an amazing bouquet of peach with a hint of citrus zip wuth a beautiful pink-red coloring. Taste is unlike any peach lambic I’ve ever tried. Slightly sweet with a mildly acidic touch and loads of brett that you could smell from a mile away.

Zomersaison 2017: this is an 80/20 Fantôme/Lamvic blend that spent time in barrels previously holding kriek and peach lambic. This one was very Fantôme heavy, and quite effervescent. The color was slightly pink, with a nice lactic bite and loads of hay/grass character.

Wijngaard Muscat/Riesling: This blend of 1, 2, and 3 year old lambic macerated with Riesling and Blue Muscat grapes also had extended maceration and barrel aging after maceration. Bottled December 2016 and still quite young, the vinous expressions in this one are off the charts really blurring the line between lambic and the natural wine world. Clear ruby in color with a nose full of fresh grapes and brettanomyces. Taste was very fruit forward with a range of dark fruits cut with a lemony-citrus note, deep cassis notes, loads of barrel, and a very prickly carbonation.

Wijngaard Mélange: this blend of 1, 2, and 3 year old lambic was macerated with pomace of Regent and Pinot Noir from 2015 and Dornfelder and Cabernet Cortis grapes from 2016 and bottled in December 2017. While not nearly as lively as the Riesling/Muscat blend, this one is just as expressive and trending even more toward the wine spectrum. Lots of oak barrel present on the nose as well as very subtle grape skin. Taste is laid back but very reminiscent of a nice Pinot Noir and blackberries with nice light touch.

Hopefully that's one of the dishes you washed.

Opened a de cam oude lambiek yesterday. It's a 750 purchased a year or two ago from etre or biab. Flat. Label says 37.5cl. Really nice flavor and good aroma, although I'm definitely getting a subtle manure smell.

Drinking second half tonight. Screwed around and blended with 1/3 of an inexpensive dry sherry. This is great!
