Commercial Description:
Vigneronne is a blending muscat grapes and lambic, the brewers and beer merchants produced the "druivenlambik" (grapes lambic). White grapes soaked in lambic. The fructose, which abounds in these fruits, enables us to make a beer which is more mellow than the Gueuze or the other fruit beers. The spontaneous fermentation, the ageing in the barrels for several years and the addition of grapes make it a distant cousin of certain white wines.

Very incredible beer. Aroma you can smell from across the table and tartness that is nicely mellowed by the oak. This is like a finely aged white wine, not like the over-barriqued Californian chardonnays.

750 ml bottled on 12/24/2008. The beer pours to a super murky yellow orange straw colored body with a starch white head. The aroma is bready sourdough and sweet white grapes. Light twangy barnyard. The flavor is light sourdough bread with a strong sweet muscat grape. Extremely flavorful with lots of uniqueness and complexity. The palate is sweet and lightly tart. (Not like most other Cantillon products) Medium bodied but finishes really clean.

Pours a hazy straw color with a medium soapy head which faces rather quickly. Aroma is horse blanket, tart grapes, and light musty cheese. Taste is initially very tart and carbonated but as you drink it, it becomes much smoother. This tasted a lot like a unblended lambic as it was a bit one-dimensional in its flavor, but overall it was solid.

Thanks for sharing bro! Pours a hazy wheat color with thin off white head that fades quickly. Aroma is of tart fruit, grape, yeast funk, wheat and leather. Taste is white grape, horseblanket, wheat, light leather and light lemon. Definitely drink this slightly chilled, too cold and it’s a bit abrasive.

Thanks to Joe for this! Hazy gold pour gently carbonated. Aroma of green apple and white grapes. Really tart (lemony) upfront. Finish is dry. Notable hints of grapes, green apple, wheat, leather, and cheese

750 ml bottle. Aroma of citrus, grapes, leather, horse blanket, lemon. Pale straw-like yellow-gold color with just a bit of lace. Like golden Muscat grapes. Flavor: Sweetness from the grapes matches sour, dry, and creamy. Lemons, icy dryness, funk, milk. Wow. Very complex. The sweet grapes add a very fresh dimension. Probably the sweetest Cantillon I’ve had. Yet superbly balanced by citric sourness and that exquisite dryness. Nice stuff. Not my favorite of theirs, but super refreshing and interesting.

Courtesy moejuck. Bottled 2001. Gold/copper. White carbonation. Uber funk. One of the most sour beers I’ve sampled to date. Acidic. Vinous white grapes. Very dry. Medium body. Balanced carbonation. Intense brew. Held up surprisingly well.
