What is the difference between Goedele's and BlossomGueuze?

had them side by side. Goedele's is fruitier by orders of magnitude. BlossomGueuze has a more woody and peppery character.

At De Heeren our waitress described the difference. They helped pick fresh elderflowers with the Lindeman's crew. Goedele's is a labor of love. She was confident that Blossomgueuze is extract added.

I'll let you know Saturday.

Really they're kind of mincing words and products on their menus now. OGV is the product and label but they're also selling Vintage Oude Geuze now from the cellar.

Picked up a couple of fruited De Cam on special (30% off) the other day - Framboise and Kriek. Never had a De Cam so looking forward to doming them soon.

Framboise says bottled 2009 (but I hear this isn't reliable) and the cap on the Kriek says 2015.

Let me guess. Was it January, 2009???

What is the Drie Fonteinen bottle that has no label, and just a big "3" on it in what looks like light grey marker or paint?

The new bottles. There is a small circular sticker on the side indicating what the contents are.

They also have a full label on the back and different colored caps on the cage.

I knew they were doing new labels. Wasn't sure if that was what they decided on.

I started a reservation box on etre gourmet a few weeks ago for the most recent loon drop. It is just a few bottles. Technically, I am supposed to ship them by 6/19 according to what I have read on their website on how the reservation system works. I emailed them asking if it would be okay to roll them over to the next quarter so could have more time to fill the entire box and they never responded. Should I not worry about it? Or would they actually make me more forfeit those bottles?

Pick a couple more bottles and be done with it. I've never had trouble filling a box. Plenty of Tomes and other beers up man.

Are the boxes by quarter or 3 months after you start a reservation. I may have misunderstood and be in the same predicament as you.

What BadJustin said.

Don't waste time waiting for more Cantillon to pop up. Just buy 'Tomes and be even happier.

Ha, that is what I was just about to go do along with a fantome saison

I never really paid attention to what fantome they have and just saw they have a Sante 5 that they tell you in the descprtion should not be drank. Haha.

This is a very interesting little writeup and analysis by Dave who does some writing and research for us as well as for his own blog, Hors Catégorie. Finally had a chance to meet up and share some beers in person tonight in Brussels!

Has anyone had both 3F 2000 Oude Geuze and 3F 2002 Oude Geuze Vintage? I've just had the 2000 OG and it was my all time favorite lambic (hands down). Wondering if I should just get more of that or if I should try the 2002 OGV. Or are there other aged lambics on par with these?

I've tried both at Akkurat and I think 2000 OG > 2002 OGV. The real gem is the 2003 OGV (although I also love the 2003 OG).

I tried my Dave and Busters card at Akkurat to purchase lambic and it didn't work. Maybe i should take it to Cantiloon>?

lol yep

I went back into the store and they had a few more in there. Some of them had a 2015 cap and the label had no sign of bottling date like the one I had. I am guessing it is a 2015 then.

Also picked up a De Cam Oude Lambiek.
