Cantillon Soleil de Minuit

Formerly brewed at Cantillon
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Brussels, Belgium

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white creamy head. Sour berries in aroma (you can’t really tell which), along with typical cantillonish dry sourness. Pleasant lambic, which has been stored for a while. Only thing that sucks is that it completely lacks cloudberries in flavour and aroma...

Bottled 37,5cl
Hazy orange, creamy white head. Typical Cantillon nose: sour, fruity. Earthy, sour, fruity, dryness cuts cloudberry flavors. Balanced, sour Cantillon. Ageing has cut the corners. Great.

(Bottled@Akkurat) Opaque orange color with no head. Dry, fruity cloudberry aroma. Very authentic cloudberry flavor with some rough bitterness in the finish (because of the cloudberry seeds, maybe). Dry, sourish, contrapting palate with a nice, mouthdrying finish. Nice, enjoyable and dry, as can be expected from Cantillon...

Pours a cloudy golden, with a frothy white head. Aroma is intense of fresh cloudberries, and cantillon funkyness. Taste is tart, with the usual Cantillon barnyard/brett parts, a rather sweet cloudberry part, and som sourness.

I love this. Hazy deep orange coloured. Probably the best aroma ever in a beer. It is really hard to remove your nose from the glass. Huge aroma of fresh cloudberries. Even though the beer is now seven years old the aroma has not changed much becoming less fruity as in most fruit lambics. Very acidic and complex flavour with lots of citrus and cloudberries present.

Hazy orange, not much head. Hoppy citric aroma with sweeter notes. Fruity sour flavor and a very sour finish.

Bottled, at Essen Kerstbierfestival 2004 courtesy of a fellow babbler. Slightly hazy amber, low white head and gentle condition. Intense sweet fruity citric lambic funkiness in the nose, there is a slight dryness initialy in the mouth but then the fruity berries mix with the tart acidic lambic notes to create an intensity of flavours that seem to enhance each other. Long, long dry farmyard notes and gentle tart fruitiness. The cloudberry seems to be the perfect fruit to balance the tart austerity of Cantillon Lambic. Deserves a wider audience.

Pours hazy orange golden with a fine off-white head. Extreme aroma. Sour and salty with strong notes of wild fermentation and a funny tone of anchovy. Acidic tart flavor with citrus and again anchovy tones. Salty and dry specially in the finish. Sour as hell though the sourness dies quite fast. Complex and interesting and very refreshing!
