Cantillon FouFoune

Brewed by Cantillon
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Brussels, Belgium

an unclear orange beer with a small head. The aroma is of sour milk. And so is the flavor, though combined with notes of peach. It has a very dry end. This is not my favorite fruit-lambic.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy, pale amber with an almost completely absent head. Sourish, fruity nose. Medium body with a marked, vinegary sourness. Not too sure I can pick up the apricots though. Sour all the way through. 291006

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a fizzy white head. Sweet fruity apricot aroma with that classic Cantillon horse blanket note beneath. Flavour is dry citric with a mild apricot sweetness. Goes extremely sour and acidic. Dry finish with a firm citric bite.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Dark yellow, hazy, no head. Aroma of citric acid. Lightly fruity, mostlt sour. Firm maltiness, some apricot and syrup in the finish. But still - this is hardcore lambic, and just on the border of what my stomach can possibly accept.

Bottle. Clear dark golden / yellow with a white head. Aroma is sour, fruity, somewhat funky. Taste is apricot, tart sourness, and some brett.

Bottle. Milky, cheesy, sour/citric aroma. Very cloudy yellow colour. Nice head. The flavour is very citric with some danablue. Nice acidity, burning at the back of my throat.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small white sparkling head. Aroma is concentrated sourness along with wood and fruits. Flavour is very much the same with some slight fruity notes lurking behind the sourness. Dry to the extreme.

Cloudy orange colour with a small head. Aroma of sour milk, abricots and unriped fruit. Sour flavour dominated by unriped fruit with notes of abricots. Slightly bitter finish. One of the first lambics I’ve had, and I’m not used to the sour flavour yet. Interesting.
