Lambic Evening
So OK it’s much warmer than this time last year, very spring like. All the
locals are wandering around and enjoying it. Had some local chips from a van
on the way up the hill.
So, they are out of Cantillon Framboise but they have Framboise Girardin and
Framboise Boon. Both are acidic but not as much so as Cantillon. The Boon
(Boon) is dated 2005 and has a more complex taste, it also has it’s own
glass. Both are 5% by volume. A very good start.
Liefmans Kriekbier, a Kriek based on a dark beer instead of a lambic.
Heavier but very pleasant. However my teeth are beginning to get rather
sticky. 6% by volume. The way forward!
Lindemans Pecheresse – peach beer only 2.5% by volume but a rather gentle,
refreshing taste. slightly cloudy but a refreshing taste with a peach after
taste. More forward.
Oude Geuze Boon – The Perfect Marriage. Old & young Lambic. Rather pleasant
aroma but a far better acidic taste that would cut through any thirst. 8% by
volume, a sipping beer.
And Ostende on Monday.
