    Hey, never posted on this section before.
    Anyway, I have some bottles of Brooklyn BamBoozle and quite a few bottles are displaying some kind of sticky material seeping out (see pic), I have not opened it yet so can't tell if it's in a good codition or not, anyone seen this before or have any idea what it is? Thanks.

    We've got a bleeder!

    I assume it's just fine (a la Cantillon, etc) in terms of leakage but point that sucker away from your face when opening.

    Edit: looks to be the result of excess carbonation due to bottle conditioning/additional fermentation. Somewhat common.

    I have had some "seepage" like you described. Often, it is a one way road. The moisture is going out, but nothing is getting in. But that being said, it is not always this way. I would drink them soon. Just to be sure:wink:.
