Pours golden apricot with no head. Nose is alcohol and apricot. The flavor goes more tart apricot with a dry finish. A sweetness in the middle comes through.

Pours hazy peach color with some fizzy white bubbles on top that quickly disappear. Aroma is lovely and complex, very smooth. Peach (though I’m sure that is the apricots, I don’t know what an apricot smells like), oak, vanilla, some citrus (orange, lemon.) Taste, whoa. Whoa. This is so peachy, and sooo so sour, I can feel my cheeks puckering relentlessly way in the back of my mouth. This is pretty acidic, I think I can already feel my stomach churning a little bit and I definitely feel it in my chest. But still... I absolutely love this.

750ml. 21Aug06. Pours a hazy dull orange/peach color with a lot of bubbles when I pour but has zero retention. No head to speak of after a minute and not a bubble in sight. Aroma shows significant funkiness. Normal Cantillon critters, Gueuze-like. Cider, urinal, hay and barnyard, musty cherries, lemonade. Some fruitiness as well, citrusy. I think I get some Apricot or Peach when I smell this but it didn’t jump out at me if I wasn’t looking for it. At warmer temperatures a rubber band aroma develops, though not negative. This thing smells acidic. It’s certainly satiating my funk/sour craving. Flavor is huge apricot, really well integrated fruit flavor following and preceding intense sourness. Lip puckering tartness, though not overdone. Lemony, super acidic with a dry finish. This is quite impressive how sour this is yet how it still manages to have such a rounded and defined apricot taste. One of the more intense lambics I’ve ever had when it comes to sourness. I certainly can’t think of any sourer. This is another knockout from Cantillon.

A clear, glistening, golden-orange body is topped with a thin, wispy film with a bubbly, off-white rim. Sudsy micro-spots of lace show like constellations in the night sky. As soon as liquid hits glass, an explosion of sour fruits and barnyard funk dart for the nose. Intense lambic sourness attacks relentlessly, while scents of sun warmed apricot skins and acidic apple cider vinegar fight through the lingering, cloudy, farmhouse funk. The first sip comes with a cringe inducing, mouth puckering assault. This stuff is heavy duty sour.....sucking on a lemon sour......but if you can handle it, you are rewarded with luscious, juicy apricot, nectarine and green apple goodness. The light carbonation and classic lambic body are perfect, as any fizziness would surely intensify the acidic punch beyond tolerable levels. This is a fantastic beer, but make sure you are well versed in sours before you go anywhere near this bad boy. You have to crawl before you can sprint.

(bottle, thanks Badgerben!) Pours a fairly still yellow. The aroma is all over the board, scents of freshly cut avocado, garlic, dried apricot, and the characteristic Cantillon barnyard funk. The taste was too sour and abrasive for me. There is huge mineral, vinegar, and lemon components that dominate over the subtle undertone of apricot. The flavor finishes with lingering sourness. This is definitely the most sour beer I’ve tried.
