Cantillon FouFoune

Brewed by Cantillon
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Brussels, Belgium

RATING #1700.
Acidic apricot aroma. Barnyard character is subdued with some sweatiness and restrained brett notes. Opaque tan-orange with no head. Soured apricot with cheesey flavours in the finish. Some leafy, herbal notes. Quite acidic and puckering. Some wheat character is apparent in the finish. Bottle enjoyed with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere at the Sunset Grill in Boston.

On tap the the Sunset Grill, only 5$! Calm headless amber hue shows orange-red hints. Aroma is enticing and funky with strong horsey, sweaty and barnyardy component. It definitely has a sweet connotation, honey-like blended with the horsey fruits (apricot, orange, pink grapefruit). Yep, this is a lambic, very fruity, limey, citric, lactic and funky. Yet, its aggressiveness is rather limited in mouth. It’s tart of course, but pretty mellowed out. I assume the bottles are far more authentic in that regard, here, the mouthfeel is so lightly carbonated that it feels a bit lifeless.

With horseblanket, grapefruit, lemons, and a light fruit sweetness on the nose.. and the same on the mouth, I enjoyed this beer. The beer poured a cloudy yellow color w/ thin lasting head and lacing. The mouthfeel was light and carbonated. MMMM... I love the Pizza Port Belgian Ale Fest.

On tap at the Sunset Grill. Slightly hazy golden orange body, medium head. Citrus and touches of apricot in the aroma, low on the lambic funk. A well-refined lambic, the apricot is subtle yet pleasant. The finish is the highlight of this beer, dry with a light woody and malt lingering taste. Yet another great Cantillon fruit lambic.

Pours with a cloudy gold body topped by a thin head with a surprisingly good amount of lacing. It’s incredibly sour and tart with notes of barnyard and a touch of apricot. Dry as hell and light bodied.

on tap at the spuyten duyvil, brooklyn. hazy yellow gold color, creamy off-white ring at the top. musty and sour apricot nose. low to no carbonation. flavor is sour and dry apricot.

mmmmm....This one has the perfect balance of sourness, but with a huge apricot flavor. Aromad of apricots, funk, citrus, and a litlle floral. Flavors of the same, but with a mellow, dry, sweetness.

Draft at Monks... Poured a cloudy yellow color with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet apricots, tart lemons, and dry brettanomyces. Taste was bone dry with a tart lemon, and sweet apricot taste. Sour finish, the sweetness from the apricots was real nice.
