Pours a golden orange color with minimal amount of white head. Has a slightly acidic smell to it will just a little funk. Has a slightly citrus taste that goes slightly sour with a little bit of tartness at the finish.

It’s about time for this one. One of those beers I’ve been meaning to try for a long long time and even had a bottle in stock but for some reason never opened it up until now. Pours a golden-orange color with a pretty nice initial white head with a little left on top. Wonderful funky aroma with cherry and berry notes. Flavors are moderately tart with berries and the additon of sour apples and a little oak in there. A touch dry and despite being tart it still comes across as a bit light. Silky controlled sour palate. This is clearly well put together.

An exceptional beer. Mesmerising. Poured on tap at the Rake on Friday before a gig. Lovely sense of cherries; floral notes and a sour dry finish. Aroma of cherries very strong on the nose. A wonderful beer. Improve the aroma slightly and it will be a perfect 5. I really love the conditioning on this beer on tap. It brings out the flavour so well. A lovely foamy head too. Thank you the Rake for giving me Cantillon on tap. A mind blowing experience.

Bottle. It’s blond with a slight fading line of head. The aroma is pleasantly funky, tart with apple, white grape, musk, damp wood, light grass, dandelion. Crisp mouthfeel with bubbles on the tongue; medium to light body. There is plenty of depth in the flavour; it’s tart with more apple and lots of ripe, slightly sweet dark blue grapes, a hint of brett. Finishes long. Wonderful!

Effervescent, lively, clear copper with orange hints, small white head, somewhat viscous... Aroma or funky barnyard, lemon, leather, new shoes, just a touch of fruitiness... Flavor is quite funky, lemon, leather.... Very lively, almost champagnelike, dry finish, a touch thin in the finish... World Class,

Bottle 37cl. A yellow-orange beer with a head that disappeard quickly. The smell is nice and fruity. Taste is very dry, very bitter without any fruit flavour. A bit vinegar but the main taste is mushroom and bitterness. Quite strange for a gueuse.

tle. Pouts a lovely golden with slight hazing. Slight white head initially. Disappears pretty quickly. Aromas of lemon, vinegar, some sourness and a little funk. Lambic plavours of leather and horseblanket. A little lemon and some green apple. Finish is very dry with some acid and funk on the finish. Wonderfully balanced. Great beer.
