Sep 22, 2006 Hazy golden-orange in colour with a small, thin white coloured head leaving behind some spotty lacing. The aroma is of lemon and orange citrus, acidic, woody, some white grape skins, light spice. The flavour is lightly sour, lots of grapes, woody, some barnyard, acidic, lemon zest, vinous. Nice tart mouthfeel, medium body, with medium to light carbonation. Finishes dry, acidic, lingering. Amazing stuff, I’m a sucker for the Unblended Lambics. Cantilon seems to do no wrong.

Sep 12, 2006 2004 unlabeled 750 ml bottle. Nice cloudy orange color, very firm white head, fully lasting. Fairly bitter for a lambic, with lots of lemon, nice sour level, fairly acidic. Relatively tame for a Cantillon, but still with plenty of house character and not being quite so sour it allows the other elements for take over. Nice complexity. Excellent. Thanks Jeff!

Sep 10, 2006 Bottle. 2004 vintage. Murky orange with a medium white creamy head. Great aroma - oranges, dust, biscuit bread, reminds me almost of the Chouffe Houblon with some tart lemony wood. Interesting flavour with significant bitterness along with bread wheatiness. Refreshing and sort of strikes me as a blending of lambic and saison.
Thanks for sharing yet another masterpiece, radiomgb.

Feb 26, 2006 Light fruity, classic lambic nose - hints of vinegar and pear. Gold-orange color, fizzy head. Light sweet apple-like malt body, drying tart end. Overall reserved sourness for this brewer, but it’s got a great balance. Thin, clean texture so it’s quick and refreshing. Just fantastic.

Feb 11, 2006 Brewed 03/18/2003 - thanks so much Jacob and Dixen for this treasure - you guys have rocked the house with your goodies. Deep golden color. Beautiful pine, apricot and grape nose. Intense but very short acidic grape peel taste. Nice mellowed dry finish.

Jan 4, 2006 Bottle. Acidic aroma. Cloudy golden colour, almost no head. Acidic, dryish flavour. Not watery, but somehow lacking something I cannot quite put my finger on.
