DDT - 3/27 - Lambic Holidaze

[ExPimp]

Day 5 in Belgium, grabbing some Cantillon Framboise on cask from Moeder for lunch. Feels good man.

Lambic day?

 

[user 312341]

Felt pretty rotten this morning after *not* drinking last night. So, here goes.

This one is my least fave of the three I've tried, but it's still nice. A bit lighter and grassier than the others.

Cheers, TB!

Thanks Andelliotsaid, this is lovely.

I don't go crazy for this like I used to, but it's nice to revisit now and again. Ditto the current music selection. Btw, TB Anniversary karaoke, I'm coming for you. [insert stereotype here]

Almost completely still, but delicious.

 

[Barroomhero]

Solid, well done IPA, despite lack of haze. Citric, resinous, bitter, clean.

No lambic, just Funk.

Unfortunately it's not quite the same beer it used to be, and I've heard through the grapevine that it's not 100% Citra anymore.

More Chicago hops. Tasty, though much prefer yesterday's Ninja v. Unicorn.

Side Project / Off Color Brewing La Biere de Fantasie

La Bière de Fantaisie is a collaboration ale brewed with our friends at Off Color Brewing in Chicago. Our shared love of the farmhouse ales of Belgium and France was the inspiration for this Saison, which is a blend of several puncheon-fermented Saisons that were aged for 10 months before being naturally conditioned in this bottle.

Fancier Beer (Blend #2) uses Side Project’s saison yeast and Off Color’s wild yeast

Apricot. Lactic. Straw. Dry.

While I'd normally share a beer like this with friends, tonight just felt perfect for a few glasses of saison. Unfortunately for my expectations this one is firmly in the wild ale category as the primary flavor is lactic acidity and apricot yeast esters. It's pretty tasty and not overbearing acidic like some Side Project fruited sours can be, but wasn't exactly what I was looking forward to drinking tonight. I'm sure if I tasted this blind I would have thought it was an American Wild Ale aged with a lot of apricots.

Might have to crack a funky saison later to compensate...

Cheers!

Barley wine lyfe

 

[Barroomhero]

Given the whole chicken broth thing, this beer's name is amusing...

DIPA with mangoes. Tasty. Moderate fruit thing, nice bitterness, clean enough body. Finish has a bit of an astringent twang to it, but whatever.
