Blåbær Lambik (Blueberry Lambic) (2007) Fong

Thanks Collin A. for sharing. Time has definitely made this more interesting and it definitely held up better than anyone would’ve expected

Nath (2018) Fong

Didn’t bother with a picture but this is great, rhubarb faded slightly but integrates well with the underlying lambic

Not one for ageing, cellar time shaves away at the watermelon jolly rancher character I enjoyed in Europe

Was much better 1.5 years ago. Age has chipped away at what I thought made the beer a much better showcase for Radikon’s core palate

La Corvée Fong

2+2=5, better than the sum of its Poulsard and Trosseau parts, fun flavor profile that belies the relative seriousness of its wine pedigree

Out of all the beers by the bottle I had at Cantillon, the Harambe lambic was probably the one I revisited the most, excellent show of creativity.

Very savory with high salinity. Poulsard is very light but permeates the palate. Reductive on open.

Magic Lambic (2020) Fong

LCI - new job celebration beer. Better than the Besk keg by far but the fruit levels squash all presence of the base beer. Acid is expertly kept in check by the vanilla sweetness though.

Drogone Lambic (2020) Fong

LCI - fake Zwanze celebrations. A year and a half since bottling and this is amazing. So well integrated with an abundance of tertiary characters to explore.
