Vintage 2002: Bottle courtesy of Mike (Eyedrinkale) Pours a nice hazy bright red with a well retained head. Bright aroma with wood notes, sour farmhouse, horse blanket, lemony hints and of course cherries. It has an extremely tart flavor, makes me pucker, especially the first sip. Dry as a bone, with a lemony like sourness. Stuff is pretty drinkable though, a nice palate cleanser.

Pours an almost clear ruby with a creamy pink head. Interesting to note that of the 3 * 750ml bottles I bought in Belgium, the one that I bought at the supermarket was the best, it had a better, more uniform carbonation and more balanced feel to it than the ones that I bought at the brewery and a beer shop. Must have been sitting nicely on that shelf for a long time. Anyway, enough ramble... Aroma of wet hessian and a light tart dry cherry, perhaps some light ginger and almond too. Flavour is medium tart, fresh cherry, brett, almond, pit tannins combining very well. The finish is quite long, fruity and tart... I just love the finishes in the cantillon range. World class.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy rose-red color with a minimal pink colored head. Aroma of yeast, barn, cherry, lemon, vinegar. Flavor is tart, sour cherry, acidic, vinegar, yeast, oak. Palate is medium, highly carbonated, super crisp, ultra dry, sour finish! Wonderful!

Light haze, beautiful bright red body with a small pink head. The aroma is cherry, lactic, horseblanket, cobwebs abd cheese. The flavor is cherry, yogurt, very dry, bright acidity and almonds. Medium/light body with dense, soft carbonation, slightly bitter, dry and very sour finish.

Redcolored, light head. Sour aroma of vinegar, rapbeery and cherry. Sour in taste, but still very lovely. Some cherry and vinegar in taste. A nice one.
