@SimplyBeer – Thanks for the information and excellent suggestions! I thought this was a great beer, and very different. I’m looking to try some more of the funkier stuff in the near future.

I know Bob reviewed Douchesse awhile back and really enjoyed it (4 stars). Might be a good place for me to start too.

First off, good for you moving out of your comfort zone. It’s not an easy thing to do and probably a good start exploring this world of lambics / sour / tart beers. Contrary to a couple of suggestions above, I wouldn’t necessarily go straight to the cantillons, but maybe a Douchesse de Borgne. The cantillons can be very intense and I urge you to easy into the style. the same way you wouldn’t give a bud ice drinker a stone runiation for there first hoppy beer. But that is me.

Now as far as Spontaneous fermentation and lambics go there is no regulatory board that restricts the use of Lambics, like trappist or champagne. But out of respect the breweries that are doing spontaneous fermentation are not using the term lambic (sam adams is another story). There are at least 3 American breweries doing spontaneous feremntation. the most authentic to the Belgian lambic style is Allagash, but also Jolly Pumpkin and Russian River are experimenting with the process with some good success.

A bar/restaurant in Denver serves up what they call a “dirty Ho” which is half raspberry Lambic and half Hoegaarden. The framboise taste is still there but it cuts down on the sweetness.

I’d agree with Micheal. I think almost every beer/liquor store I visit in Jersey has some of these products. Its very easy to find. I’m on a mission to eventually try all of them and its good to know they are readily available!

It’s very common. However, it is normally found a most beer/liquor stores that have a decent selection. I’ve even seen some run of the mill places have it. I’d say that a store having 40 or 50 beer options would have it.
