Thanks, good to know. I got super lucky. Was walking through town between meetings and saw a tiny shop that had a few Lambic bottles. I found some A&G Blend 21 and as I was checking out, I casually looked through the glassware and they were just sitting there for €4,5 each. Can’t wait to break them in with a nice bottle.
Shelf turd find in Leuven:
Is this the same as the other script glasses out there? Too lazy to find the other ones. Stoked to find the pair, will be going with my carry-on bag for safe keeping

Funny story though... I didn't even know I was going to that until Raf woke me up and asked if I'd come help him set up and pour so I hustled over really quickly. It was super fun, but also super impromptu!
I should have added “hopefully”. I’m heading over soon and hoping it’s around.Dat confidence knowing you are going to try it.
Meanwhile, me in Australia pondering my chances of trying Magic
I think he may be getting Tilquin in a border state, I have never seen it for sale in the big cities of Texas?
Correct. Little Rock gets a decent supply, and now we’re seeing it on the Arkansas side of Texarkana.
That's funny, I think the ranking when I did this recently was like the exact opposite.So friday I got lambic drunk...the idea was to check in on the armand seasonals which I have not had since they were freshly released. In addition to the seasons I also opened an A&T which was bottled around the same timeframeish and tommyguz offered up an OG bottle also from the same period.
I believe everyone partaking agreed somewhat with the following summary of how we would rank these:
lente
zomer/A&T
herfts
winter/OG
It was interesting that we all thought the lente was the most enjoyable (of the seasons) and each bottle degraded in order from there.
Lente is still the fruit forward lambic I remember but its bright tropical character has faded.
Zomer was almost as fruity but much more carbonic in character.
Herfts is where things took a turn towards the more moldy/funky spectrum with a hint of mint.
Winter has become a little malty, cheesy, musty and oxidized.
The OG I also found to be malty/oxidized but with more bitter pith than winter.
A&T was the most dry/crisp/refreshing of the lineup with almost a peppery spice to it.
As if that wasnt enough, Tom got out a Nath which I never had before and it was awesome. It smelled like **** but the taste more than compensates for that.
Oh...and I opened a batch 1 Zenne which was just stupid good and not even fair to drink along with the others.
This was the only photo I took which shows the nath partially opened and the OG bottle is missing.
Tom also opened some bottles the next day like Hommage, kriekenlambik and 50n4e but I was too far gone to formulate thoughts at that point.
Its been 50+ hours and when I poop it still smells like Nath.

I meant to say second bottled batch, not complete batch. Apologies!
They're for sale at muted horn. I'm asking around to see if anyone will ship them to me.
I'd love to replace all my glassware with stemless.Oooo nice
