Cantillon Saint Lamvinus

Brewed by Cantillon
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Brussels, Belgium

The sweatiest cantillon so far. Aroma is wet hay and sheep, wit fruity cherry hints and some grassy hop too. Taste is unblended with nutty characters and the grapes are stubtle but there. Intresting but not my fav from cantillon.

Bottle: Courtesy of Sprinkle via trade. Sour tart aroma with light grape and moderate woodiness. Pours a cloudy orangish-pink with a minimal white head that fades to nothing very quickly. Outstanding sour tart flavors with just a hint of grape in the background. Nice dry woody finish. One of my favorite Cantillons.

Bottle 2005. Dark red beer with a lightish head. The aroma is quite vinous, warm, spiced and cherry/strawberry fruits. The flavour is quite sour and bitter with a warm fermented mouth feel. Overall a reasonable beer.

0,375 l bottle. Yellow-red-brown color, no head. Sharp and sulfury aroma with notes of grapes and currants. Sour, sulfury and leathery flavor with grapes and tobacco. Mouth drying finish with grapes and lots of aciid!

Bottle ølbaren, i got the last glas, Mette strated the bottle without me. Deep red color. Juice of red berries, sweet, sour, grapes, a dry sour finish.

Bottle. Pours a lovely hazy reddish colour with a slightly pinkish head. Sweet malty and sour barnyard aroma. Fruity malty flavor with hints of barnyard and grapes. Sweet malty fruity finish.

Rosy top in the look here, deeper burgundy beneath, under absolutely no head...par for style, though... Aroma: bracing, yet invigorating, a blast of cherries and grape, twisted by sour...musty, rank, and deep...liking it...a deep well, dominated by fruit. Delectable. Taste it, already! Oooo! Weeee! Owww! Bold, huge, fat puckeration,...ooo, ooo, ooo! Takes hold of the mouth and doesn’t let go! A blend of dark fruits, cherries, and berries, and grapes. Luscious. Sour and flavorful. Mellows a touch, gets easy as we go, gets easier to take.. Not for everyone, but a particular treat for demanding palates, constant play on the tongue that is rewarding for some, punishing for others. Hard to compare this to anything else on earth. Far beyond any other lambic, a definitive sui generis classic. 2004 bottling. too young? who’s to say. worth the $33 spent? probably...
