Have heard good things and want to try siome - if anyone wants to rank maybe the top 3 or 4 they have that would be great ! Thanks for any help or info
tricky to get, since they are limited releases (and really start dropping the fruit qualities after about 8 months of bottling - or at least that's my palate)... but delicious! here goes for me: 1. persimmon 2/3: blackberry/kiwi (these switch back and forth) 4. raspberry
Persimmon is by far my favorite. Blackberry, Cherry, and Raspberry are all really well made beers also. The one thing I'll say about the Upland Lambics is that carbonation seems to be a crap shoot. I had one bottle of Cherry that had almost no carbonation and I have had bottles of Persimmon that have tried to blind and/or maim me with their corks. All great beers though.
I'm a huge Upland lambic fanboy and trade for them all the time. I would say the fruit flavor holds up very well in the Persimmon and not well in the Kiwi and Blueberry. Persimmon is by far my favorite, followed by blackberry then Peach. I had a 2010 Peach just recently where the fruit still held up. I wouldn't turn down a Cherry either.
I really didn't realize how good they were until I started trying a lot of the other fruited AWAs out there.
Thanks I just searched that forum - look out for a post in the ISO / FT forum today, I appreciate the feedback
I might as well post this since the availability always leads to some confusion. It is very, very hard to find any of these on shelves. The last release didn't even hit retail. They sold all of the Blackberry and Raspberry out of the brewery and tasting room. A couple years ago Cherry, Peach, Blueberry, and Blackberry used to sit around at stores for the longest time. Now they don't even reach retail stores.
