Cantillon Saint Lamvinus

Brewed by Cantillon
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Brussels, Belgium

Bottle, head-to-head RBESG 07. Slightly reddier than the unblended, thin white head. Nose is sweet, slightly more balanced than the unblended, vinous and really packed with fruit. Mouth is grapey gueuze with some sweet acidic tones. Tartness towards the end is to die for. Superb.

Sampled during the First Annual Stone Sour Fest. Pink pour with a smallish head. Earthy and sour aromas. Flavor was similar with a very acidic finish. Raspberries on the flavor as well. Very sweet and tart. Pretty good.

Bottle bought at the brewery. Lovely cloudy red with a thin head. Full fruitiness, lambic laced with grape juice. but the lambic dominates totally.

Sampled at the 1st annual Stone Sour Festival 2007. Very sour with some oak flavors.

Tap @ Ebenezer’s re-rate damn wowo Bottle-4th brew of Stone 1st Annual Sour Festival, July 22nd 2007. Shared this cool day very mellow day with bikesandbeer, wetherel, westsidethreat, padrefan, fordest, denverlogan and many others. I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time, but never quite got up the nerve to pay the $40 usually charged for this bottle. Glad to get a taster instead. Pours almost purpley red, plum red with a little head composed of white islands and a ring. The nose is funky, sour, grapey and as my pal westside threat said a little bit of diaper in there, either that or the wind caught some of the mulch in the stone world bistro. The taste is sour tart, vinous, and grapey. Very good and interesting, but certainly not quite as good as some hype might make it out to be. Worthwhile to have and glad I’ve had it.

(Bottle) Pours hazy red to purple. Grapey, woody and vinous aroma with fruity undertones. Medium acidity nose. Sour, acid and vinous flavour with tones of grapes, fruits and citrus. Tart and dry typical Cantillon style but more balanced, with some sweetness, compared to some other beers from the brewery. Medium body.

Tasted various times over the years, including at the Stone Sour fest. Semi cloudy cherry red color. This is like a big tart-sour fruit soup with truly fascinating and fun tart cherry and raspberry profile. A little barnyard, wood, mixed other tart berries but very refreshing and tasty from first sip thru the finish. One of my favorites of this Stone sour fest and from Cantillon.

Lambic with Red Wine Grapes tried at Stone’s 1st Annual sour beer tasting. Wonderful raspbeer red color and sour cherry flavor and aroma. No head, but still has slight carbonation when tasted. Slight nice funk in the aroma. Great beer. Aroma gets better as you approach the bottom of the glass. Delicious.
