This is a delicate flower of a brew from Cantillon. The color is a very straw like color. Lighter than the gueze, with a similar quickly diminishing head. Looks very much like a champagne. The aroma is a little mild, floral and slight horse blanket. The flavor is mildly sour, the fresh hops are hinted in a floral taste. Iris isn’t my favorite from them because it’s almost too subtle for what I like in a Lambic. GRM (1269), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 4, 2009 Bottle shared with NickTheElder at The Back Abbey. Pours a hazy orange/yellow/red like a sunset with a thin white head. Aroma has plenty of barrel and funk with floral and citrus notes. Flavor is sharply acidic with loads of lemon, some oak, fresh fruits, a slight hop bitterness, and a very dry, citrusy finish that makes you want more. Palate is light and carbonation is prickly making for a very tasty, refreshing lambic. esox (266), Oulu, Finland
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 1, 2009 375 ml bottle. Orange to amber lambic, some sparkling. Minimal off-white head. The aroma is acidic, earthy and stable-like, slightly grainy and clearly hoppy. Some delicate ripes , oak, nuts and some citrusy and floral hops. The flavor has oaky dryness and well acidic character of Lactobacillus-bacteria. It is very bitter for a lambic, with a clear flavor of fresh, green hops in the finish. Wonderful. The palate is very, tart and lingering. Medium bodied, some carbonation but not much. A spectacular lambic if you like bitterness in this style. Rciesla (3700), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Pours a hazy orange golden body with a white lacing. Floral funky earthiness, some sour notes and a hint of flowers, wood, and burlap sacks. Dry citrus and a tart finish. I thought it was delicious. 4.1
Vintage 1998 shared by BrianK. Pours a hazy orange amber with an off white head. Floral, funky effervescent citrus and woodiness with a light acidity and some funk’d honey and lemon. Awesome. 4.4 nuplastikk (1197), Madison, Wisconsin, USA

The aroma on this one is perfect, stanky brett-wheat funk dreaminess. Deep orange color, not all the way opaque though. Foamy head. Classic lemony wheat crushes your taste buds. Wow, no wheat in this one? Achieves supreme sour and funkiness nonetheless. This beer is phenomenal, no trace of old age, holds up perfectly. Hyper bitter, full on Lambic.
