Sep 13, 2005 Bottle. Perhaps my favourite lambic. I love the way the gamey/woody/cherry/blood characters from the Bourgogne barrels, blend with the tart, very sour characters of Cantillons lambic. Juicy, and quite soft, so well balanced. My beer of the Euro summer gathering.

May 2, 2009 Bottle shared by ygtbsm94. Thanks Brad. This is one incredible sour. Pours a murky rust color with little head. The aroma was tons of oak and white grapes. Light and pleasant aroma. The carbonation is lively, but not over the top. Great flavor. Really easy to drink for the style. Lots of white grape flavors, earthy yeast, vinegar and lemon zest. One of the most unforgettable beers I’ve ever had.

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.

Aug 27, 2007 Bottle thanks to Jacob, shared at west brewpub with rbesg07 crew. Aroma is cantillon junk complexity with something just this little twist of citrus mandirin, like my god its like yee haaa. Taste completly shocked me, soo drinkable soo complex, the sourness is very slightly held back but this malty citrusness, which seemsa to totally suit it, one of the best beers in the world by far.

Apr 20, 2005 Updated: Apr 21, 2005Deep headless hazy orange. Vinous and fruity (mainly citrus) aroma. Sweet/sour flavour with notes of pear. Very dry and acidic aftertaste. Definately more vinous than your regular unblended Cantillon lambic. Very tart and lovely. Another superb Cantillon.

Jun 13, 2005 Bottled. Cloudy golden. Tart, typical Cantillon style acidic aroma plus some woody notes. The vinous character is very subtle, and it’s light sweetness just rounds of the citric acid a little. Very elegant and complex. Just superb.
