I'll agree it is a love-it-or-hate-it beverage

Out in Tempe years ago on a local brewpub tour... hit 13 in two nights. Had my first lambic at a college brew pub near Arizona State. Raspberry tasty.

Give me malt and hops, please!
Gee Jazznut you like Scotch Ales I would have never guessed

How about a Gueze? (lambic without fruit). I'm more partial to those than the fruit versions. The aroma is horsey, wet blanket, baby diaper kinda like a horse thats been ridden hard and put away wet.. Lovely stuff! The St. Louis Gueze is very earthy, vanilla and tannic with some sherry notes in the aged bottles I have. Very complex beers.

Mussels ala Gueze yum!

There is an enormous range on lambics, but really soda-pop sweet versions like Lindeman's to mouth-puckering, genuinely stanky beers from Cantillon and Frank Boon.

The really sweet ones make me gag, but I'm not a huge fan of Cantillon, either. My favorites tend to be middle-of-the-road beers like Mort Subite's (mmmm, peche!).

Lindeman's Cuvee Rene (geueze) is so much better than their regular line that I can hardly believe it comes from the same company.

I liked it. I was in the mood for something sweet so I had it. I like a variety of tastes. Just to prove that I had a the pub's own brew called "Community Dark" and then had the Lindeman. The one taste I could do without is Natural Light, now that's just piss water in a can.

In the industry, it's known as a "panty dropper"

Yes, that's a technical term
