Fou foune 13

You would probably need at least two and with fou i think the consensus is that fresher the better so it might be a little harder to land with '13 fou.

 

Prob not. Also some people here avoid the 13 Fou so it's really hard.

 

Who

Who is avoiding '13 FF? '13 Blabær is the only thing I've heard about

 

I've seen it on some ISO: ft threads. Personally never had the 13 fou. I'll look around and when it comes up I'll post it. I thought it was only 13 blabaer as well

Edit: can't find it, but i know ive seen it somewhere.

 

I've read the same here and elsewhere. Roughly that there seems to be a higher chance of a not-great bottle. I think they should just send the bottles to me for proper disposal.

 

Yes, everyone should avoid 13 Fou and send me their bottles. Lol

 

I want all of it. Don't care what year.

 

Fou after a year is wonderful. Still distinctly apricot, though with more funk.

 

Someone who has had multiple years of blabaer, why is '13 avoided? I don't want what someone heard about it, I want to hear someone's actual first hand experience of why this was an off year or whatever.

 

I haven't tried it, but if you look at ratings on Untappd, which has scores by vintage, it is by far the lowest (~3.7 average vs. ~4.5 for most other years). So it does seem there is some truth in it being an 'off' vintage

 

It is different I have had a few different vintages. '13 is less fruity and has a funk that isnt like their normal stuff. I wouldn't call it bad, just not what I have come to expect.

 

?

 

All I remember hearing is that the 2013 version was a very small batch due to the low amount of apricots harvested that year. I have tried the '13 version before and I enjoyed it just like any other vintage.

 

Both the 2013 Fou (most, but not all, bottles) and the 2013 Blabaer were distinctly less juicy/fruity than other vintages, with a tendency to be a bit chalky in taste.

With the Fou, it's a mild preference point and I'll seek out other years first. I really did not care for 2013 Blabaer.

 

Fresher part is really a personal preference. I like Fou with ~3 years on it the best. That balances perfectly for my tastes and gives you a great blend of funk and fruit. Some people want as juicy as possible, others want as funky as possible. To each their own.
