I think the good news is that right now there arent enough people willing to (or able to) hoard that much lambic to worry about it spilling over to Hanssens, Girardin, or Tilquin. Yet. Girardin is gone around here. I think that has more to do with them not exporting much of it and less to do with hoarding, though admittedly I do have my fair share of black label bottles.
Message JAXSON beers 612 º places 4 º 14:09 Tue 6/25/2013 Originally posted by BenH How does the flavour of lambic change with age? Is it sharper or softer? more sour or less? Curious I think it depends on which lambic you’re talking about and I haven’t had lomng-aged lambics from all the producers, but I’m sure some on here have. I find Cantillon Gueuze becomes more refined after a few years, then starts becoming really sharply sour, high citric acids after like 10+ years. 3 Fonteinen tends to develop more funk and a refined mineral, wet pavement note, though every blend is going to be different. I notice that most of the "Vintage" 3 Fonteinen blends, which are always going to be more aged at the time they’re released, are more sour on average.
Message drowland P beers 11069 º places 430 º 14:41 Tue 6/25/2013 10-12 cases of Tilquin 375s at my store, and several cases of just about every Hanssen’s flavor (375s). 10 cases of Boon Marriage Parfait 2008 (375s) and many cases of the normal Boons and Beersels... a few bottles of Girardin Black Label as well. No Cantillon or 3Font, but I’m cool with all of the above.
