Bottle. Hazy reddish colour with a medium slightly pinkish head. Rich arom and taste of classic lambic with sweet fruity notes. sweeter than expected, but still a very good beer.

Bottle at Ealing Beer Festival 2008. Thanks to Maria/Renffisch for this one. Hazy raspberry colour with thin pink head. Lambic farmyard aroma, some red wine grape. I mean I try to like Cantillon beers, but they are just too acidic, very good lemon and some red wine cherry fruit flavuor, but too acidic. Does have nice cherry aftertaste though and extraordinary farmyard/acidity.

Bottle shared by Crosling, thanks Nick. Poured a pink-grape color with a moderate pink-tinted head that faded to a ring. Aroma of sweet grapes, light berry, tart funk, and some moderate yeastiness. Smooth, lightly tart entry with undertones of grape and tart berries leads into a more funky sourness with some dry yeast character on the finish. Pretty nice.

Vwery Lovely Lambic Indeed. Not too tart or sour, and the aftertaste was like Concord grape juice versus a bourdeaux. Easily Drinkable.

On draft at Teresa’s Next Door. Poured slightly hazy ruby red that appeared undercarbonated. Nose was fruity and vinous. Agree with others that it had the appearance of a wine. Sweet, complex fruity flavor initially with a sour, acidic finish.

Thanks to turd for sharing this at the Carolina Gathering. Pours a bright red with a light pink head, very minimal. The nose is fruity, vinous, tart, earthy, spicy. The flavor is fruity, tart, vinous, oak and spice. The palate is carbonated and crisp. Finishes spicy.

Nice reddish colour. Merlot grape in the nose. Well balanced an suitable sour lambic.

Bottle shared by the mighty TurdFerguson in his beer-heavy lair at the C.C. drink-down. Wow, now this is what it’s about. Blended version of this awesomely dry beer, which was a real treat. A pale rose color, crisp and lively just to look at much less to drink. There’s a modest and subtle nose, with dry grapes and lovely oak in the aroma. Active and quite present mouthfeel, dancing on the tongue. The finish is just ridiculously long and dry, with mild funk and ripe fruits everywhere. Superb.
