Has anyone been able to get their hands on this? I'd like to hear some feedback and any ideas on how to acquire some of it.

This beer is fucking amazing. It's very similar to Cantillon Classic Gueuze, IMO. It's all sold out now, but there are people out there in BeerAdvocate and RateBeer that are willing to trade - usually for equally rare beers.

Here are some PICTURES from when we decided on the blending scheme back in January.

I was able to try this at a festival and thought it was very tasty. I highly reccomend it if you can find it.

Rumor is that Tomme Arthur is bringing some of this to the Falling Rock for their Colorado premier tomorrow night, though the same rumor seems to indicate that it will be ludicrously expensive.

You only live once, dude. Life's too short to pass up this mofo. If you're into sour beers, this one is not to be missed :bnarmy:

I agree with all that has been said so far.

Very reminiscent of cantillon gueuze, however I think that it is better.

I was able to try this at the made in the shade festival, as well as with a friend who is a Patron Sinner with Lost Abbey. Then apparently Tomme has been sending cases around to certain bars and festivals for sharing (like 80% of it I think? I don't remember what his blog said). I was able to pick up a bottle for $30, which was the going price at their doors, as well as to the sinners. I consider it a bargain. Sours are my favorites, and I have yet to taste this beer's equal. Do what you can to attain access, be it trade or the questionably legal.
