A very generous ratebeer'ian shared one with me. It was very nice. However, I'd never pay $150 for a bottle of it. Heck, the bottle was only 12oz/375ml-ish. That's sick for any beer. You definitely need to be philanthropic first, beer-lover second if you're going for it in the auction. Personally, I'd prefer a true fine sour over another (sweet) Alexander, all other things being equal (ie. if the novelty / rareness factor wasn't there). Oh, and that comment stands whether it is a Pre-Palm or Post-Palm vintage for crying out loud. Alexander was pre-Palm only. To match your ridiculous pedanticalness, in the last paragraph of my former post, let me just point out that grammatically the subject of first sentence was the noun, "sour," referring to Flemish sours. Therefore, the "it" in the second sentence by default refers to the sour (which ironically what you apparently THOUGHT the main topic of the thread was with your insightful single sentence post that added NO value to the main topic), not what it was being compared to, the Alexander (again, per your first post, a perceived secondary topic). While you may think so highly of your grand beer knowledge and so wide of the gap between you and the rest of us, we common beer dummies either: already knew Alexander was pre-Palm, just would have assumed so, or didn't give a stink. Rather than take the main point directed to you, the "for crying out loud" (which only intended to point to yet another of your self-uplifting, pedantic comments mingled into a thread), you fill the thread with more of your vast wisdom about Rodenbach's pre- or post-Palmness. I'm jealous of those who are able to learn from you daily in person, as you're very special. No, not really. In fact the truth is, unfortunately now when I'm drinking Rbach's Grand Cru, this thread and aspidites will come to mind and spoil the experience. It was such a nice beer otherwise, POST-Palm, that is.

quote: Originally posted by aspidites I frankly did not care what the point of your post was the only thing that even triggered any thought at all was that it was a pre-palm only product, so sorry that my one track mode of thought bothers you but that is how my mind works like it or not. I can only process stuff one way at a time so if it is a joke I do not process it as such unless I am already thinking about jokes, you get the idea.

If anyone hears of a bottle being available , Please think of me.. I can die a happy man if I try some of this beer!! ..and THANKS again to the guys out there who know what I am going through and for future findings!! If anyone can help me, you would be very handsomely rewarded!!! [8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D]

And now it's available again, limited supply. Scored a bottle. Wish list forever. Sorry to see ASSsssspitititties sorry ass in this thread though.

Ratebeer and Beeradvocate both have the 2016 version listed as a separate beer than the original. I'm not privy to the details of why, except that since Alexander was last brewed, Palm bought Rodenbach. This might be like a movie based on a true story. I hope not, though, as I'll have one set aside for B10k in a few months.

geez, had forgotten about this thread.. gotten to try Alexander twice since then. amazing stuff. on the hunt for the new one...

Got a bottle socked away for a tasting at the end of next month. Looking forward to it!
