Lambic Discussion Thread

[TommyShitt]

I stumbled across a Natalie Dee comic the other day that, until that moment, had slipped into the recesses of my mind. I also enjoyed Married to the Sea.

We’d be friends I think.

Stupac feels so strongly about this matter he sleeps twirling, twirling, twirling toward freedom! Pretty sure he's oxidized but I havent read enough peer reviewed papers to confirm.

FTFY

I linked so many Married to the Sea comics as AIM away messages in college

stupac2 What's your favorite lambic all time? Or top 3 if that's too hard.

Why me specifically? But I'm going to be weird and answer "My favorite lambic that's still relatively available" and say Lambikstoempers.

Just curious. Read a lot of your stuff on here. Cheers!

I had a 2012 Blaeber not too long ago and I loved it.

That was a really great bottle!

I posted some other stuff in the cellar thread, I won't repost that here, but I wanted to share this:

ZyF b2 decanted for ~20 minutes. I'm not sure I've had a lambic with a better nose. Incredible stuff, so deep, complex, funky, but still being light. Taste follows suit but is kinda muted by the residual sweetness of the lambic (and maybe the sherry? I'm hardly experienced there), but overall it's a fantastic beer, unsurprisingly since B1 was also great.

Cantillon cuvee l'archange anyone?

It’s just regular 2003 gueuze?

Yes. Jean’s post from a year or so ago.

I wonder how many hand-made-label bottles you'd get for 1000 Euro. I bet some mule groups will take him up on that if it was a couple cases.

2012 bottle. Dead flat, obviously. Thin and watery but plenty of funk. Not a bad bottle like some recent Untappd check in's but definitely an odd aftertaste. Glad I got these bottles for half off though.

Went East for work last week. Walked into a bottleshop near my sisters house and De Cam Oude Kriek was turding. Didn't even think any of these made it into Australia so naturally grabbed one.

They also had 750ml 3F OG for $24AUD which is about $19USD. If I didn't have a small suitcase I would have cleared the entire stock.

For those prices, buy another suitcase?

The new 50n w Armagnac is wonderful. Much better than from the keg, and better than the last batch of 50n imo. Nice, funky and pungent Armagnac smell, then a good bit of Armagnac w some citrus and green apples, giving way to lots of oak. Wonderful!

Going to get my bro-in-law to fill a box and send them to me.

Collected weekend thoughts:

- The 3F Kriekenlambic isnt entirely uncarbed. Open a bottle at room temp and it’ll pop.
- it is very good though.
- Intens Rood 17 is next level. I enjoyed it more than the last fresh LPK I had. YMMV but it’s a different league from the old Intense Red I remember.
- Lambik-O-droom Doesjel pours are from OG-labelled bottles that never carbed. Found it slightly disappointing but recent Doesjel I’ve been drinking at home has been exceptional (Golden Doesjel)
- Cantillon is getting close to intolerable on Saturday afternoons. I had a glass of lambic and left sharpish due to overcrowding - but mostly tourists, not shitlords.
- Best Tilquin special was the Sureau. I’d pre-buy 3 cases right now. The Framboise and Mirabelle were good. Found the Rhubarb disappointing.

Had to happen eventually. DDH IPA blended with lambic in a can. Supposed to be alright too.

Yeah, Beersel isn't really a great lambic to blend with hops. There's a blending thread on this site that discusses some of us drunks blending various stuff, including lambic and IPAs. It's probably about 5 years old by now?

I had actually first gotten in to blending IPAs with AWAs from an idea a buddy gave me, which he had blended himself at Russian River. He called it Sanctpigification. I sorta got in to the Yardbirds playing guitar and went in my own direction from there. Or Bluesbreakers and then went in to my own inspirational direction from there.

Hearing that Beersel is doing this makes me quickly think that someone at Beersel got tanked and accidentally poured some IPA into their unfinished lambic and said **** it and drank it and realized that it's obviously better than just Beersel. Or, the place making the IPAs couldn't get other lambic and had to be "settlers".

Actually, blending IPAs and lambic is terrible. Dont do it, you'll only regret it. Blend Gose with Brwon Ales or something else that isn't as relevant to my interests.

Heady/3F OG blend really shocked me in 2015 or so, but an attempt to recreate that magic was a miss. I'll chalk it up to batch variation for both elements. Geuze/saison dregs mixed into Trillium pale ales hasn't been a bad choice yet...
