What's the deal with this? https://untappd.com/b/brasserie-cantillon-vintage-2007/1747097

It smells to me like a regular gueuze with a fancy label, but confirmation would be nice. Didn't see that label or anything else on a quick sweep of the site.

Yeah, it's just a 2007 Gueuze they serve on site with a different label. They have done it with other vintages as well.

Had the 07 onsite in March too and was wondering the same...still it was pretty tasty!

 

[burgundysmoke]

Adding now, thanks guys!

"The purpose of this article is to explore the historical, etymological, linguistic, and orthographic differences found among lambic terminology, labeling, and appellation."

This is still my absolute favorite post in this thread.

Also they've started numbering the magnums? That's new right?

That's cool, how many is that count for? 2,000 something? Funny thing is those were all bottled on 29.12.2017 and not 20.12. Was there the day they were bottling and took a video.

Yeah 2000
Guess the problem with printscreening that stuff is that they really can't change it if they're just too lazy the 20th

 

[Stevedore1]

Are there any subpages that have the blend information for the 2016-17 3F Armand & Gaston bottles? I notice that mine has a little sticker on the back with the blend number, season and a description which appears to be different from others. Should we all be submitting this information (plus photos) to lambic.info if the powers that be deem this to be useful information?

 

[Beer4B]

MFers could happily use 20+ pages to debate upright vs side storage

So what you're telling us is that bottle on dates cant be trusted and are sometimes not even accurate? Better add that to the bottle log right ****ing now in bold font.

There goes my "anniversary lambic" ISO right out the door

 

[tosh1]

If they were actually bottled in December 2017 then the bottling log being accurate is the least of our concerns.

ISO: Time travelling lambic

I think I have all of this past seasons rear labels w/ description in a PDF from 3F, but I think it's all in Dutch. Let me run and check.

Also year, clearly made a mistake above w/ that magnum date, should be 2016, not 2017.

Yep, found 'em. Stevedore, curious which one you're talking about. I can compare it to the files I have. I'll have to check to see if I can upload the images/PDF, but otherwise they're in the queue of things to transcribe onto the site.

 

[Cruize4Gueuze]

I'm really just curious how you guys are gunna compete against this.

lambic Grand cru

Blend no. 7 from 16/17 season (back label for the bottle log if acceptable). Crisp and dry apple skins, light barrel, quite floral on the nose. Not as much lemon as I've noted from prior Drie Fonteinen oude geuzes, but certainly still within the wheelhouse of blend variation. I get a bit more dry green apple skin on the backend, mild-moderate acetic acidity. A slightly more substantial mouthfeel, appropriately carbonated, a slight leathery finish which finishes a bit dry. I found this one to be a bit drier, acetic and more on the tart apples rather than the lemon portion of the spectrum that I'm accustomed to from Drie, but very much enjoyed drinking this one. It'll be interesting to see what other blends are like.

LPK or LPF? I remember having LPF there during the second week of June that was "recently bottled"

I'd guess he meant LPF since that was released alongside the other two.

 

[bostonvert]

Yeah sorry I meant LPF

 

[matedog]

Speaking of LPK, anyone know if there was a bottling this year? Looks like they usually bottle it in September.

Got a bottle of 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek 16/17 (4,5%) that I cant see that you have any pictures of. Is this something that would be of any help?

No problem. Apparently its a "failed" batch that stopped fermentig at 4,5%, but they still bottled it. As far as I know its pretty rare (Atleast in my hometown. Only got like 40 bottles.)

Hommage also has that same low ABV rating, but what happens is that they take the ABV at time of bottling and use that for the label. It should continue to trend upward towards 6% as it continues to referment in the bottle.

Very happy with these, is it something you can use on the website? Still regret it that I never visited the Rare Vos when it was open, my ex lived 5 minutes from the place! I'm sure you guys are aware of the fact that they are planning on opening again next spring. I've heard many great stories about this place so I have high hopes, here is the new website

http://derarevos.com/

And this page has some great pictures from back in the days and if you need any translation help let me know.

Amazing, as always. Perfect balance of funk and fruit. Deep rich well captured fruit flavor. Funky lambic. Everytime I have this beer I just want to smell it and smell it! Sweet potpourri raspberry nose. Just slightly tart, barnyard funk, and cantillon cereal flavors.

I honestly enjoy smelling that beer more than drinking it.

 

[NClambicguy]

Does this still count as lambic or is it a blend of lambic and non-lambic?

I'm really excited for this to be released again. We have it listed on the following page, which could use some updating now: https://www.lambic.info/Beer_and_Lambic_Blends

Got it in the table, thanks!

Also just made a major update to the 3F A/G, OG, and Kriek bottle logs with all of the blend specifics found on the backs of the labels.

Any chance the Zwanze glassware library gets updated?
