Lambic Discussion Thread

[BadJustin]

Those could easily be bubbles in the glass. I have come across similar looking things in beer bottles and that is what it turned out to be. Do these things move around with the liquid? They almost look too clear to be critters.

Consensus was fruit fly larve which I suppose could be the case?

They definitely could be. It is hard to get scale from that pic but upon first glance they look too big to be those. But I really can't tell with the limited info.

Honestly, I would pour it and take a closer look.

Saw this in a group on FB. Purportedly in a bottle of Boon. Da fuq?

You think that's odd? Ever look closely at the label on Fou Foune?

Note: Oddly enough, Google image search turns up more **** images when searching Fou Foune rather than Dickbutt

TIL: 'Foufoune' translates to 'Pussy'...

I'm just a layman, but I'm 99% that's what those are.

What's the standard price for de cam Oude lambiek in the US?

 

[SirDickButts]

mmmmmmm, boon vinegar....

 

[The Red Viper]

Ranges from $32-45 depending where you are, usually upper $30s. $39.99 probably the most common price I've seen.

Dat weak euro.

This is incredibly good. Funky nose with a little lemon in there. The taste is smooth, soft, yet very complex. Tons of oak, funk, must, and a nice tartness.

I love fruited lambic but think I'm going all in on straight lambic and geuze.

It has all been to throw you off the trail of my real love: Lindemans Peche

How was the Golden Doesjel SeaWatchman?

Honestly was not digging the 2013 much. Could have just been the bottle, but it was way more sour and one dimensional than the 2012. The 2012 has a great oak complexity that I really dig.

I've got a couple 2012, but haven't had it and planned on holding onto them a while. They were calling to me last trip down to the cellar though.

Well if you want, I can get you unlimited 2013s. Haven't tried any other bottles but the one I had so like I said, I'm not sure if it was just that one or across the board.

Appreciate the offer, but my beer budget doesn't exist until next May.

Just got an 06 & 07 in as well, can't wait to drink them.

The closest Doesjel I've found to Australia is a place in Hong Kong. They seem to be stocked for 3F stuff but won't ship to Australia. Jerks.

Vigneronne is now on sale from the brewery, 1 case limit.

hrm..... my pants are tingling.

I still have yet to try Vig, hopefully we see some stateside as I would love to track one down (along with the few other shelfy loons I've missed).

shelf loon is an oxymoron

Had a '14 375 rose this past Saturday.



Bottled in December, this is the freshest rose I've had. It is face melting sour. Proceed with caution

I just heard case limit at the brewery - sounds like all those shelf HF lambics right?

But seriously, even until about a year or two ago I could occasionally find Iris, Classic, even St Lam and Fou on shelves around here. Last time I saw St Lam on the shelf it was there for about a week before it was all bought up. Still no Tilquin or 3F to be found in RI though.

A ******* week? Would be snatched up in a matter of hours 'round herr.

For real. I gotta move to Rhode Island. stupac2 says nothing but great things about that place.
