Apr 1, 2008 Vintage 2007, I had it March 08. The color is very beautiful deep red and the head is huge, creamy, slightly pink and it leaves a thick lace. The aroma is quite sour, but not quite as sour as many Cantillion, and it doesn’t sting in the nose. It has notes of barnyard, horse blanket, damp basement and all the typical brett notes. The blue berries are not found, but berries, yes. The flavour has a dry sourness, and the same notes as in the aroma are found here too. The finish is dry.

Mar 30, 2008 Updated: May 9, 2008Tasting, courtesy of Fordest’s event. Beer #5. 2007 vintage. Poured a purplish color with a small off-white head. The aroma is big with funk, yeast and fresh ripe blueberries. The flavor features a good blueberry character set in a spicy tart-sour backdrop. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky. The finish is long with lingering tart blueberries and a bit of brett. Overall: A simple yet complex concoction. Very nice. Note: Also tasted the 2005 vintage at a later tasting by Toncatcher. I found the 2005 to have lost most of its marvelous blueberry character--and was indeed overly sour.

Mar 30, 2008 Tried at Fordest’s tasting. Bottle from fonefan on 11/14/07. Compared against Upland Blueberry lambic. Lots of funky horseblanket in the aroma. A lot less sour than the Upland, which is a good thing. Clear purple-red color. Some nice notes of blueberry in the aroma, and tiny particles floating in the beer. Dry, but an illusion of sweetness from the fruity characteristics. Tart like an under-ripe peach. Nice.

Mar 28, 2008 (on bottle 2007 edit.)This beer is made up of two wonderfull components, I shall hereafter call it Jaspis, after the stone and my son. On one side; tartness to the max, mellows out tho´, plenty of funk and a dirt/stable/must aroma from heaven. On the other hand; fruityness and rouded, yet subtle, geenish and firm; blueberries right from the garden. If the two of them mingle, I can´t say, could have been more combined; but this beer is a sure winner, kudo Jeppe.

Mar 23, 2008 Small bottle. Acidic, light horseblanket nose, subtle blueberries. Neon red, plentifull carbonation, crimson head. Hayish start, explosive spicy and sour berry notes, a hint cardemom. Medium body. Dry dry dry mouthfeel - like chewing the berry skin, the sparklyness helps over that.

Mar 23, 2008 37.5 cL bottle, 2007. Pours hazy reddish and with a lacing pink head. Sulphor and berry aroma, dry. Dry woody and berry fruity flavour. Very classic Cantillon sour sulphorish at first. Adds a solid blueberry smooth flavour. Gains some classic dry brett flavour towards the finish and makes me shiver. Ends with a dry woody and sourish/citric. Lovely.
