Jenlain Blonde

Despite the fact that the unique 650 ml bottles of Jenlain Blonde from this summer's early release at the LCBO have flown off the shelves I have seen no "review" or discussion of them on BarTowel.

Anyone?

Kind of a self serving post isn't it Rubaiyat? Tried the stuff...nothing to write home to mother about...probably the same reason no one has seen fit to comment...rated 3.43/5.00 on beeradvocate and 2.9/5.0 on ratebeer so pretty much everyone is on agreement on this one......but thanks for bringing it up and drawing attention to a rather mediocre beer in your portfolio.

Ah, we can always depend on rabbit for a (not-so-)nice direct response, can't we.

Personally, I didn't try the Jenlain. The couple of times I saw in it in the store, I was already buying too much other stuff to add another bottle to my load. And quite frankly, I was concerned about the whole "pale beer in a green bottle" thing, so combining that with the mediocre reviews I saw on RateBeer and elsewhere, it was at the bottom of my list of things to try from that release.

If my post was SELF-SERVING I would like to know how you rate some of the other posts around here.

I was, frankly, just curious to know what you thought of the beer, not my posts.

It is, by the way, NOT a "biere de garde" as so many people seem to think for some reason.

Thank you.

Paul

Rubaiyat,

Any suggestions as to which stores may still have bottles on the shelf? Will you be re-stocking?

What other products does Rubaiyat represent?
(How bout esprit?)

It might be interesting to get bartowelers together and place an order with them for something we wouldn't otherwise have access to.

I have to chuckle (no offense). We've been through this before. There are threads and threads on it. It would be easier to co-ordinate a group trip to Belgium.

Cheers, Joe.
