light orange color with almost no head. sour, skunk aroma with a noticeable woodiness. tart tast, not really sour, but tart. woody almost orange flavor with some lingering grape echos. a metallic pear taste also arrises in this. and the last taste of this had some weird chocolate like flavor in it.

Corked and capped 750 courtesy of and consumed with gputty. This little gem completes my 71 styles - whoopee!!! Ahem. Now then. Deep gold with absolutely no head or carbonation. Acidic, sour, slightly musty nose. Sour peach and white wine notes. Sour, tart flavors, acidic, peach, white grape, lots of flavors assaulting the tongue. Mellows out once fully warmed, and the stanky barnyardy musty hay aromas really come out. Wow, very good! Just hard to really get a handle on.

No head or carbonation to speak of. Orange like color. Very clear. Very champagne like. Smell is tart, fruity, sour, and a little funk. Taste is sour and makes you want more. Very dry.

750ml bottle from Beers of Europe. The bottle was allowed to stored at room temperature and allowed to settle, before being placed in the fridge for a little while to cool it down. The cork came out with only the slightest pop, and the beer poured clear orange, with no head or extremely little carbonation. Aroma is typical of the style, slightly woody, slightly nutty and quite sour smelling.

It must be said that the beer’s lack of carbonation is very pleasant on the tongue. Beer is VERY dry, somewhat sour and tart. Lacks the strong woody flavours that many lambics have, some wood character was still discernable. This has a definite quality of dry cider to it. Good, but not as good as Girardin Unblended Lambic.

2002 Vintage. Poured a headless, light-hazed amber with an assy/eggy aroma and a vinous, sulfuric flavor finishing with high acidity. Harsh and unenjoyable.

Body is gold with no forming head. Sour, horseblanket, almost a watermelon like aroma to it along with grapefruit. Taste is watery with the normal Cantillon initial sourness with some lemon. Palate and beer is just to watery.

2002 Vintage - Clear golden body with a white head that leaves very nice glass lacing. Sour acidic nose, some oak aroma also. Flavor is sour apple, oak, lemons, etc... verfy complex and yummy. Very dry, almost puckering finish. Very nice lambic.
