Has anyone opened any of the 3 sisters from last year, or better yet, a complete set? I have one I was considering opening this weekend with some friends and was curious how they're doing.
Just had a Madame Rose about 2 weeks ago and thought it had improved greatly... but then again that was my least favorite of the original 3 so YMMV...
Cracked a 2010 Juliet last week and thought it was better than ever. Still fruity, but perhaps a bit less so, and there's maybe an extra note of barnyard funk that wasn't there when young.
sounds like this weekend might be a great time to open these. looking forward to the madame based on the past few comments.
Also had a Madame Rose this past Saturday and still liked it quite a bit; I don't necessarily think it'll keep getting better for much longer as I'd be afraid the fruit will fade, but right now it's still very good. Plan on opening up a Lolita this Saturday so will let you know how that has held up.
I would say open the Juliet now we did a batch 2 with the 10 (b3) a few weeks ago and was suppose how much the b2 has dropped off... So I would say the 10' isn't getting better.
I drank the three sisters in a matter of like 5 months. They were all 2010 vintage. Madame Rose was the best, followed by Juliet. Then Lolita. All were awesome beers.
I have a set of all 3 from 2010 as well as a 2011 Lolita. Going to have a tasting probably next weekend. Very excited.
I recently had a Juliet from the last batch and one from the one before. The fresher one was phenomenal but the older one had really gone down hill in my opinion. Still a tasty beer but at this point the older bottle was probably not even on par with monk's cafe
I would hope its not on par with monks cafe .... totally different beer. I cant stand to drink monks cafe, almost tastes like ketchup mixed with balsamic vinegar. Juliette is delicious, and I dont see how you could compare a fruited american wild with a flanders... are you sure that your not talking about madame rose, which is a flanders????
I had a 09' Juliet 3 weeks back and in addition to being a gusher, it had lost a lot tart and overall was dissappointing. I have had 10'Madame Rose a few time over the last 2 months and it is drinking really great. Also, if anyone is looking for the 09' Juliet(as much as I didn't like it) I would be willing to trade for reasonable offers.
