Actually opened a bottle of strawberry last night. Confirm no carb there.

Screw the carb, look at that spread!

My BIAB boxes have always gone through JFK. Will respond again when my bulk 3F box gets here, but I've never had one go through LAX. (I'm in Denver.) Although when I ship out internationally they go to LAX, so who knows.

My latest BiaB box went through LAX... well, it's still there. 17 days and waiting.

ugh...

I may still be the anomaly, but the box I got in Feb from BbiaB shipped via LAX to me in California. It also took part of the journey across the states via Fed Ex before being finally delivered by USPS.

Just when I told myself I sould take a little time off from ordering boxes from Belgium... they go and start talking about Cuvee Rene Special Edition. I can see a mixed box of that and 3F OG in my future.

Anyone have experience with aging Cuvee St. Gilloise? I loved it when I had it fresh and unexpectedly got another one.

Hah! its either going in my belly in a couple months or a couple years, just wondering if it has any potential to get better with time.

2010 bottle I had a few months ago was stellar. I also really like CsG fresh, but it's definitely nice with ago too.

I bought a 2 year old bottle once, and it was fantastic. I'm not the hugest fan of Regular Cantillon Gueuze or non-fruited Lambic, but I loved it.

interesting that st gilloise and mamouche are the only regular line up beer that they do not have a description page about on the website

1959 3F OG up FT on the other site. Very curious how that has held up...

The one I had was straight acetone.

Just got a bottle of A&T bottled on 2/17/11. Same exact day that Golden Blend was bottled (at least the bottles I have).

I don't think I've had two different lambics from the same brewer bottled on the same date before. 2/17 happens to be my birthday as well. Please feel free to donate all of your A&T and Golden Blend to my future birthday celebrations!

That's a heck of a set of bottles to have had bottled on your birthday!

 

[LukeAleTime]

Was there more than one bottling of A&T?

Not that I've ever come across

Ah, guessing I screwed it up on my cellar list. I have it down as 2012.

Next t-shirt is going to be read something like "I learned more @ Lambic.Info!".

 

[LukeAleTime]

I'm stubborn enough to not be convinced that I got something wrong until I check my bottles.

 

[wyatt1]

I just got some #spookygeuze. Some green label 3F OG bottled 10/31/14.

I did the same thing on mine. I think I read the 2011/02/17 bottling date as a feb. 2017 best before.

 

[LukeAleTime]

Ahh, that might explain it.

 

[PepeSylvia1]

Anyone try this? Thoughts? Is it worth the price? They wanted over $50 in the states.
