talking about american lambic is allowed here right?

Are they talking about spontaneous fermentation? How about de Garde, Hill Farmstead, Anchorage, New Glarus, Allagash...?
 
So I received a few bottles of lambic and noticed one of them is a pretty low fill. I would think that maybe this would mean it's undercarbed a little bit but when i shake it there are a lot of little carbonation bubbles that show up... way more than the bottles that were normal fills actually. It's an LPK from 2010 if that matters. Should I drink this sooner rather than later? Or does it not really matter that much. Why would this one appear to be more carbed than the normal fills? Thanks for any insight into this one!

Low fills happen. Seepage happens. I wouldn't be worried about it unless you saw a ton of spillage in the box.

Also, given that you shook it up, I'd hold off a few weeks for the lambic to settle anyway.

I've had everything from right up to the cork, to down as low as a 3 inches and I've never had anything that I have noticed that had a significant impact on flavor. However, I've never had a low fill that I've sat on for over a couple of years. Cheers!

Does anyone know if I could find any lambic while in Barcelona?

Note that if you go to Biercab, just go look in their cooler, rather than trying to order off the menu. I had to try three times before I found something that they actually really had... then noticed the cooler as I was leaving and discovered 2 or 3 things in there that I would have ordered if I'd know they had them.

Thanks, was hoping to let this one age for a while but it looks like I'll have to drink it in the name of science. Oh the humanity.
 
Picked up my first 2013-2014 tilquin this year. 2 750s of the gueuze and 1 quetsche. I will likely wait til i find a store with some 375s to try this years batch. anyone in MA know of a store with half bottles?
 
Anyone ever get a clear bottle from De Cam? It looks like everything else is the same between these two bottles with the exception of the glass. These are both 750's not 375's despite what the labels say.





never seent that before. if no one here knows I suggest just hittin up karel on facebook and see what he says.
