2001 bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a tart fruity barnyard aroma with some hints of wood. Tart smooth malty flavor with some acidic hints and hints of wood. Has a smooth tart malty finish. Very nice.

750 ml Bottle via trade with WeeHeavySD (Thanks!). Pours a cloudy orange/amber color with no head whatsoever. A very fruity aroma, lemon, grapefruit, apples, and a sharp acidic twist. Flavor is wonderful. First, the brew comes off with a sharp acidic flavor then softly mellows to an oak note that is quite appealing. The citrus and acidity linger throughout but are not overpowering at all. Palate is nice and dry but surprisingly refreshing. Overall, This might be my favorite Lambic yet this is definitely a winner in my book. Cheers!!!

Hazy dark golden color with a fully diminishing very thin white head. Very tart aroma. Somewhat thin flavor but a nice sour flavor somewhat similar to lemonade without the sugar.

Bottle (750ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev - my bottle. Poured hazy orange with virtualy no head. Aroma .. ah, I’m really getting to love these funky, sour beers - this one had sour cider, tart fruit, burned rubber, funky cheese ... mmm. Taste was a bit too mild, but still nice - to much tart non-hoppy citrus, not quite sour enough, still tasted of cheese, sour fruit, old sneakers - mouthfeel very acidic, but pretty flat, I assume that’s the style, this is my first unblended lambic - overall it grew on me, but I still prefer the geuze style with its carbonation to this on - tupalev is right, it would make a good summer patio sipping beer.

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.

Cork says 2002. Clear gold with a smallish white head. Aroma is acidic, yeast, sour, apple, oak, and funky. Sour, musty, citrus, and earthy. Finish is musty and very tart. Mouth is a bit watery. Damn’d good. My enjoyment of lambics grows with each bottle.

Bottle. Pours golden/peach color with no head. Slight citrus and must aroma. Only mildly sour and tart with a hint of fruity bitterness. The tartness increases as it warms. Rich and oily on the palate. Quite vinous.

Distinct Cantillon lambic. The unblended lambic is tantalizingly tart. Not the most satisfying or compelling lambic but delicious nonetheless and fun to drink, too.
