Cantillon Bruocsella 1900 Grand Cru

Sampled at the RBSG 07 Grand Tasting. Excellent sour nose on this beer. with a wild field character. Very sour body with an earthy tinge.

I didn’t realize this was an unblended lambic while drinking it. From a keg. I expected unblended lambic to be much more sour that this. As it is, there is mild barnyard aroma and wild yeast. Flavor is just a little sour, some oak, cloudy yellow. It really is a nice beer, and the mildest lambic I have ever had that still is clearly a quality beer and not something filled with sugar. This one was from 2003. I will have to rerate when I open my bottle.

This is a still lambic. Pours a light, hazy golden color. The first taste is sour and acidic, but not overpowering. After it has been in your mouth for a moment you get a flavor similar to a white burgendy. There is a bit of oak. The stillness takes a bit of getting used to, but after that it is enjoyable to drink, especially if you are a fan of sour beers.

Pours hazy orange with no head to speak of. Aroma is sour oak and lemon. Flavor is sour, but not overpowering. There is a nice woody flavor in the background.

Bottle. Thanks to Slob and Solan for sending me a bottle. Pours a cloudy golden body with no head. Aroma is of citrus and light barnyard. Flavor is lightly sour - barnyard. Small amount of citrus, a little oak presence. Full bodied, a little syrupy. This is one calming beer. I really enjoyed this.

Bonus bottle from Mgumby10. What a bonus, thanks Mike! Been a while since I’ve had this one and I wish I had more. Pours a deep golden color with absolutely no head. Hardly any carbonation either. Nose is barnyard, oak, lemons. Flavor is incredibly smooth for a lambic but at the same time very sour, acidic, and damn tasty. I drank this faster than any lambic I’ve had in the past. I wish this was still locally available to me. Paired great with Stroopie cookies from Holland.

Uno spettacolo al naso una varieta impressionante di sfumature ( sembra un ottimo sauvignon ) il gusto e’ sorprendente con un retrogusto lunghissimo dopo averla bevuta la bocca rimane di una pulizia unica e l’acidità invoglia a berne ancora e ancora........

Appearance: Pours a hazy, still golden body with a thin, white head. Smell: The cold hard fact that this smells exactly like TheBeerCellar’s 1978 "Gas Line" Lemonade is totally indisputable. Taste: A slight upfront sweetness layered with lemons and hay. Hints of wood and salt. Plenty of vinegary acidity on the dry, pucker-inducing finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Very little carbonation to speak of. Just the slightest bit oily in the mouthfeel. Drinkability: I’m tellin’ ya, "Gas Line Lemonade".
