Sep 19, 2009 Served from a 375mL bottle vintage 2007 picked up from OTM. Appearance is a brilliant brown hued golden orange with some medium moving bubbles. Nose is acidic with vinegar tones. Flavors of deep wood, tart sour flavors, green apple, and lemon. Mouth has a mild carbonation and a small puckering feel. A really nice lambic.

Sep 19, 2009 750ml bottle vintage) served in a snifter. Slightly hazy orange pour with a thick head of fizzy off-white foam that slowly settled. Slick lacing. The aroma had strong notes of funk, vinegar, lemon, and a touch of caramel. The flavor was similar to a gueze, but a bit rough around the edges. There was a nice sourness and acidity, but they seemed a little out of balance when compared to a blend. The mouthfeel was lively and highly carbonated. Very aggressive on the tongue. Decent.

Sep 16, 2009 Thanks for sharing to boamr. So smooth for an unblended. Copper color with the vinegar aroma that gave me the memory off other amazing cantillon beers. Sourness is smooth atthe same time. Another amazing beer fron these people.

Sep 14, 2009 375 ml bottle from Sam’s Clybourne (Chicago, IL). Pours a darker rich amber, orange fiery notes within, a huge billowing offwhite head that sticks around and a big level, laces well. Aromas are present off the bat, throwing a good funky brett dose, barnyard and horseblanket, citrusy lemon underneath, a touch of rubber and a bready graininess underneath. The aroma is really quite strong and funky, with some very acidic sourness within. Light vinegar in there, with a light floral feel, good carbonation. Initial is medium bodied, a good dose of sour tart lemon juice and rind, citrus, funk is covered up a bit by the acidity, but is still there, some funky barn and hay, light maltiness under it all, the sourness is a pretty good level, almost puckering, but with a little sweetness behind it, green apples and maybe a touch of pear. Further in more dryness, a lingering funk and slight rubber, and moving out with a light sweetness in the finish lingering with floral hops and citrusy sourness. A bit unbalanced, but that bit of sweetness tries to bring it back down to earth a bit. I don’t mind though, as the sourness is what I like the most. A bit soapy, the hops really start to come through in the body and finish as I get further into it. Very nice.

Hazy golden pour, with a HUGE white frothy head. Aroma of FUNK! Lots of sour funk, and wet hay, with some light notes of green apple, and lemons. Flavor is VERY tart, and sour. Notes of wet hay, and grass with some tart fruits, and a very dry finish. another triumph from Cantillon!

Sep 7, 2009 375ml bottle from IPB. Pours light hazy amber with a big slightly creamy head that is short lived. Nose is very funky and sour. There is also some fruits in there. Green apples maybe. Taste is mildy sour, quite funky with a little hoppy bite. Some green apples too. Not so much bitter. Quite dry on finish. Nice complexity, original stuff. Great aroma. Nice fruity, apple, faint hop background in the taste profile. Acidity is mild. slight barnyard hint.
