Cantillon Goldackerl Lambic

Formerly brewed at Cantillon
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Brussels, Belgium

Draught at Akkurat. Loads of cognac, prunes and raisins in the aroma and in the flavour. Notes of apples. Very sweet and mature. Dry finish. The high alcohol content is slightly noticeable in the aroma but very well hidden in the flavour. Not much sourness. Very interesting and original. And tasty.

A hazy orange beer with no head. The aroma has a strong alcohol presence - no wonder with 9% ABV, and also notes of wood and apples - but they can’t hide the alcohol. The flavor is sweet - yet acidic with notes of grapefruit, alcohol, and apples. Not as sour as other Cantillon products.

Hand bottled from draught.
Hazy copper colored with no head of course. Vinous aroma with sour apple notes, not as tart as the ususal Cantillon. Some toffee and wood in there also and salty hints. Slightly alcoholic. Flavor is rather white wineish. Dry and sharp with a tart edge. Fruity with a grapefruity finish. Flavorfull and biding. An atypical Cantillon lambic, less tart, but still very nice and interesting.

Nice aroma of fermented apple juice, grapes, lots of wood and hints of aged cheese. Hazy orange colored body, no head at all and completely still. Some sourness and tartness, but not as sour as other Cantillons, good grape flavor. Very balanced.

Thanks to Jacob Lövenlund bottled from draught. Cloudy orange coloured with no head or carbonation. Fresh, sour aroma and taste of apples, yeast and wood. A very soft and well balanced lambic.

Bottled from draught, courtesy of Jacob Lövenlund - thanks! Served in Poperings Hommelbier glass. Slightly cloudy pale copper color. No head, no carbonation. Sweetish, lightly sour aroma w/ extremely prominent wood presence. Flavor is sour and quite sweet, again w/ tons of wood. Long finish. Slick, flat mouthfeel. An interesting, different lambic.

Thanx to Jacob Lövenlund ! Light hazy copper colour with no head. Light acid wood cognac almond aroma and a light sweet sour taste not as sour as most other Lambic I have had, this one is drinkable. Light sour alcoholic finish.

Cloudy orange coloured with a small head. Aroma of wood, sherry and grapes. Acidic flavour of wood and grapes. Reminds me of a dry sherry. Not as acidic as most lambics. Nice and interesting.
