Cantillon Edward is the
Bomb.

I think butyric acid can be released during yeast autolysis.

a few years ago i brewed a MONSTER barleywine that for some dumb reason i pitched huge and put a shitload of maple syrup in there too during primary... after removing the blowoff tube and putting on an airlock, i kind of forgot about it behind my other fermenters for 30 months or so (still on yeast cake in primary, never racked)...

the only way i can describe what it tasted like after kegging would be what i'd imagine the last few, teeth coating, bile dense heaves would taste like at the end of a body curling puke session after gorging on caramel covered fruit cake and moonshine. only keg i've ever immediately dumped and have tried hard to forget. christ that was bad.

Does anyone know the difference between De Cam Kriek Lambiek labels (yellow vs regular De Cam brown)? Is one just older?

As long as it doesn't say Oude Kriek then yeah, they're the same. But De Cam does have both an oude kriek and a kriek lambiek

Yeah, referring to their 'regular' kriek. Do you happen to know which label was used first?

I don't know what you mean by "regular kriek", they produce two kriek beers. AFAIK the yellow label was used first, but there are also black/red lable Oude Krieks from the mid 2000's

Kriek Lambiek; regular wasn't the right word but I figured it was obvious as I said it by name in the prior post. Thanks for the info!

For the Kriek Lambiek, the yellow label was used first, but has made recent appearances in a slightly different format:

 

[callmemickey]

For the Oude Kriek:

The first two overlapped at least in 2005 (possibly longer).

 

[Pneill3161]

callmemickey do you know anything about 2005 de cam Oude lambiek. I've got a bottle that's just a hand written label, but have never heard of that vintage.

I am aware of at least these vintages: 2000, 2001, 2003 (the one that came to the states in 2011), 2005, 2009, 2012

I've seen labels on the 2005, so I don't know what is up with your bottle.

Yeah strange, got it from BiaB, though who knows where he got it from?

Sounds like my kinda Friday night

The De Cam labels don't exactly have the best adhesive... I've received a fair number that had the labels hanging by a thread. Would not surprise me if Kurt lost a label on that bottle in the shop and sent it hand labeled instead.

I've got unlabelled things from BiaB before. Those Belgian brewers ain't spending cash on good adhesive.

That's because it's all going to New York so it can be surreptitiously ushered out of the state into private hands.

Wait... outside of the 100 bottles announced?

Vigneronne in stock on Etre. Currently 10 left.

Cheers!

EDIT: ALL GONE.

LOL. $32 before shipping? They can eat a dick. I only order from Etre. Best prices around. BiaB is sometimes OK, but gouges a lot of the time.

Absolutely.

100 bottles for public sale at Ølbutikken. Jeppe will almost certainly be holding back a ton for Tørst, where some will undoubtedly walk out the door unopened.

The bottles will not be at Tørst. The non-Shelton imported bottles have been removed.

I stand corrected. Any idea where they might turn up? I have a hard time believing that the total amount of Blåbær in glass is less than 50 liters.

It would be unsurprising to see it on-premise only at both Olbutikken and the Copenhagen and possibly Stolkholm Mikkeller bars. The sibling rivalry is a lot less vociferous than the press says.

 

[Joel66]

Jeppe isnt even involved with oltibukken anymore, torst def wont be getting and whatever he gets will be for personal consumption. The days of torst opening day are long gone,

I heard 250-300 bottles were being sold not 100. I also hears they used 25% more blueberries which should make this batch significantly better than 2013 which i like to call blahhhhhhh-bear. 2013 was so bad blabaers stock hit great depression lows

 

[GetchaPull]

I hope JVR at least used BPA-free plastic in his grain bill this year.

 

[ASUBeer]

Etre gourmet and pay pal are a dangerous combo. On the bright side I'll be stocked up on 3F for quite a while.

I hope the same people that are buying up Cantillon online stay far away from 3F but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

 

[SeaWatchman]

The bottles will not be at Tørst. The non-Shelton imported bottles have been sold illegally through private channels and through Skinner Auctions.

FTFY

There are no blueberries in Blabær. The beer uses bilberries.
