A large sour / saison tasting this past weekend in Chicagoland. Highlights for me were McKenzie Czenne, Veritas 15, Mure Tilquin and Yazoo / Embrace the Funk Perception of Reality.

Was not a fan of R&D Wild Bitter or Ale Apothecary Be Still.

How is Archer doing? Drank the Lily the other day and it was insane.

Also, is Malvasia Rosso good?

it was one of best for me last night! i don't have anything to compare it to but definitely one of the best De Gardes for sure! we has the Lily last night too, still amazing but had this weird mint thing going on.

Malvasia is doing sooooooooo good right now! that bottle stole the show for me. crazy funk!

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

I had Archer back in like November and at that point it was more saturated with almost berry like grape character in addition to being funky and very tart. It is now ultra lively with crazy carb and a little extra tart/tad thinner. Definitely a lot of change, still slammin.

Malvasia said best by 2013...If it was better back then, I don't know how or in what way that is possible... and I wish I could.

 

[gregkoko]

Does it count as a tasting was if only one person does the drinking.

bday bottle share/bbq for my friend jason, cracked some bottles with a bunch of bro's woke up super hungover but it was obviously worth it not pictured all the incredible bbq we had mango marinated chicken, pork shoulder, lots of sausage, sliders, turkey wraps and some amazing chimichurri sauce my friend made. i'm way too exhausted to give any proper tasting notes but i'll mention the stuff i enjoyed. i can go more into detail later

fou ('14 cork) this was killer and easily my favorite of the night. saison bernice reminded me of arthur but a little more tart very similar in taste i enjoyed it. abraxas good as always. fremont bba winter was awesome toal cinnamon bomb. beachwood rye like an eagle (imperial rye brown ale aged in whiskey barrels) was solid im not usually crazy about brown ales but that was interesting

the usual east coast stuff all from last year on point as always this is easily my favorite batch of anna (october 14) florence is drinking nice right now, prop lurking on the left (2014) this was insanely good way better than the 13' by far

the terrible kill shot (3am too drunk to set up the bottles some where else)
(left to right up to the prop) casey east bank, hunah 14 (first batch), de garde saison premier, imperial black raz bu, imperial cherry bu, CW 17, CBS

east bank was nice really crushable, hunah 14 still drinking good, saison premier was ridiculous tasted like a saison/wild ale blend, black raz bu was tits (need more of this) cherry bu was really amazing as well saison premier was my favorite out of the 3 that was really unique. CW 17 is good but still kind of hot needs some more time it wasn't that bad but i still prefer 16 over it. CBS was a fun tick my friend got the bottle when it first came out and has been saving it since. it tasted good but it was slightly oxidized and you can tell its really pushing it i wouldn't sit on that any longer IMO if you do have a bottle. growler was from jacks abby double dry hopped mass rising awesome stuff. killer time with some of the best dudes i know, time to make some more coffee

Small tasting in Bend last night with some friends.

 

[brian4beer]

Thoughts:
Ann is again worth the hype
Side project beers actually lived up to it
Grzzz apricot and strawberry were meh
05 better (more funky) than 06 St Lam
93Cantillon gueuze surprisingly great
Wooden Hell: great bottle not cardboard
Cherry DL: surprisingly great. Loved it
Narke: drain pour

Good morning.

Nice and light start to the lambic portion of the evening, 2012 Rose de Gambrinus

Whoops forgot the photo with the bottle, better get one:

After Vigneronne 2009, some bro decided to crash the party:

What a prick. Whoops better get a shot with the bottles

Coors Light Bro also brought this along to cleanse the palate:

After a few vintages of St Lam and Lambiek Special we decided to get serious:

Lurkaholic in his happy place. 50n and hammock

Ticking hard:

After a short SARA and De Garde palate break, it was time to hit the lambic again. Old raspberries taste good:

A very bromantic candlelit dinner:

And dessert beer #1, before getting into the hottub with a trio of Lou Pepes:

Then real dessert (passionfruit cheesecake) came out with The Statement. Then we passed around a bottle of Parabola as we packed up for the night.
