Dark gold pour with zero head, and some suspended carbonation- really cool how slowly they rise to the surface. Aroma is incredibly funky, with tons of brett, along with notes of red wine vinegar, lemon zest, and some slight oak. Also some hay, and perhaps even a bit of spruce. Flavor starts slow, then wallops the tongue with brett, cider vinegar, acidic lemon and grapefruit, and a bit of barnyard. Palate is very low on carbonation, but crescendos into an aggressively acidic wash over the tongue. I really like this lambic.

Gold pour. No head. Funky and fruity aroma. Some lemon, dank basement and wet wood. This bottle was quite flat. Had a woody flavor with a little fruit and a lot of funk. My least favorite Cantillon to date.

75 cl Bottle. Pours a nice gold color with no head. Wet hay, apples, oak and lemony aroma. Calvados kind of flavor; apple and wood. Great balance, soft lambic.

Golden pour with a beautiful suspended carbonation. Tons on tiny bubbles slowly make their way to the top. Aroma is massively funky with very pronounced nectar fruits, lemon, citrus, slight oak, straw, and hay. Flavor is very acidic, rude, and tart. Acidic lemon, grapefruit, orange, and oaken cider. Palate is very slippery and almost wholly un-carbonated. Rude, lacerative, and delicious.

Bottled St Albans BF 09. Thanks to harrisoni for this. A golden coloured lambic with a super funky welcoming aroma . It is the type of smell that you can taste and it wafts you in. The taste is acidic and grapey. Good sourness yet never overtly challenging. A pretty easy drinking lambic.
