May 23, 2005 Couleur blonde dorée, presque translucide. Acide, citronné et signé par les levures sauvages au nez. Les délicieux arômes nous font aussi penser au gazon jaune séché par le soleil. Quelques notes boisées, meringue et typique brettanomyces. Toujours dans le département de l’excellence, cette version en fut semble moins expressive et acide en bouche que la version en bouteille. Facile à boire et plutôt accessible pour une Cantillon. En fut au Moan And Dove, 21 Mai 2005.

Jun 29, 2007 Bottle thanks to puzzl. Surprisingly sweet. Really strong fresh pineapple and grapefruit. Finishes dry, but not as dry as I expect for the style. Sourness is far from overwhelming. Some woody notes. Lacking some complexity. No carbonation at all. Medium body. Pretty good beer, but not killer or anything.

Jun 13, 2006 Bottle 2005 vintage: Pours an orange golden color, with virtually no head and no carbonation. Aroma was sour, with some funkiness. Flavor had a lemony tartness to it, some oak. The mouthfeel was what really threw me off with this beer, the complete lack of carbonation gave it an almost wine like texture, with a very dry finish. It was just bizarre and took me a while to adjust to it. By the end of my glass I was starting to enjoy it, though I think I still prefer the blended lambics.

Jul 12, 2009 Bottle at the Thirsty Monk. Pours a translucent gold with no head. The nose is tart and musty, nice yeasty barnyard aromas, acidic, mild phenol with some warmth. Flavor is tart and acidic, a little more one dimensional than a blended lambic, acetic, funky and yeasty, some phenol and astringency on the palate.

Oct 17, 2007 Pours hazy orange-yellow with no head. Aroma, like the taste, is pretty standard: citrus, yeast, hay, sourness. Nice dry finish. Not an altogether outstading beer.

Feb 19, 2006 Wow. Never had anything like this before. Had at Max’s on Broadway in Baltimore during the Belgain Beer Festival. It looks like any other pilsner or pale lager, light and golden. Lots of carbination. Smells of gasoline and sour lemon. Tastes the same. Reminds me of Lock Jaw candies we ate as kids. Very sour. Surprisingly it doesn’t have an offensive aftertaste. The initial blast of sour lemon is pretty much all you get. Great to share amongst friends but not recommended for a night of drinking.

May 18, 2007 From bottle pours a light orange/peach color. No real amount of head. Tart tangy flavor with a smooth finish.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle 2005:Cloudy deep orange with just about no head. Nice nose. Overall citric acidity, with leather, soft grapefruit notes, musty damp basement. Not much carbontation, very slick. Flavor is less sour than expected. Tart lemon character with an overall citric acidity. Has some leather, dust, oak tannins and a clean acidic finish. Not the most complex Cantillon but nice. This is only my second unblended and I don’t think I enjoy them as much as blended Lambics.
