Pours dark red tending brown with a nice pink head that settles very quickly. Nose has trademark lambic funk, very tart red fruits hiding beneath dusty, salty notes. Palate is perhaps a little fuller than I expected but quickly dried up with high carb & racy acidity/tartness. Finishes quite dry with oak and tannic notes aswell. Awesome beer! A touch fuller than most other cantillons but huge tartness one expects from this brewery. Almost cross between gueuze and oude bruin/Flanders red.

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle. Squishy cork and intense funk escaping the bottle got to me, I let it air out about an hour before pouring. Beautiful red/purple pour with a pinkish white head. After the first big whiffs of the classic lambic sweat and barnyard aromas, I pickup some distinctly winey aromas, lots of grapes, dried cranberries and a bit of oak. Taste is still very lambic like with some earth and a grape/wine finale. Absolutely fantastic palate, this beer demands to be drunk. As I drink, the strong sour aromas and taste fade out and make way for all the fruitiness this beer possesses.

Dec 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a very deep burgandy, quite murky, with very dense slightly pink head.. No retention at all nor is there any lacing. Aromas of sour cherries, lemon acidity almosts and a little funk. Flavours are pretty much the same with plenty of sour cherry and oak. Plenty of vinegar and just a little funk. Nicely balanced. Great beer.

Dec 10, 2009 It smells like slightly sweet vinegar and has a clear bright ruby red appearance, no head. It tastes tarty all over the palate but smooth. We had an aged ’06 on tap in December ’o9 - aged perfectly.

Dec 9, 2009 Hazy pink pour with nice lacing. Wheaty barnyard funk aroma with some nice vinous fruit. The flavor is tart red wine and dry grain with a nicely balanced Cantillon sour finish. Dry medium body with moderate carbonation.

Dec 7, 2009 750ml bottle into Tumbler glass. Body is cloudy dark red-brown with a large dense pale pink head that dissipates quickly to leave a lasting film that laces. Aromas of sour lemons, horseblanket and faint red grapes. The tongue is very dry with a powerful lemony lambic sourness before finishing with a subdued sweet fruity tartness. Seems quite light bodied with a slick smooth yet lively mouthfeel. Gets even better as your palate adjusts to the rather harsh sourness that is typical of this brewery.
