Big thanks to Walt@RBWG 2012. hazy amber color with ivoryhead. Awesome barnyard, dry hay, lemongrass aromas. Big tart wet wood, cherry, lemon, dry hay, funked up flavors--very special treat

(750ml bottle, rating number 4,000 with huge thanks to Walt for sharing during RBWG 2012!) cloudy gold with huge voluminous head. Nose of charred wood, funky , wet barrel and cranberry. Taste is hugely funky, barrel, charred wood, tart cranberry, minerals. Well carbonated, tart and dry on the palate. Quite nice! One of the funkier beers I’ve had.

UPDATED: MAR 29, 2012 Bottle thanks to Walt shared at RBWG 2012. Pours a cloudy orange with a small off white head. The aroma is a strong sour cherry and tart. Thin mouthfeel with a sour cherry flavor and tart with crisp finish. Very easy to drink and refreshing. Wow really enjoyed this one.

bottle thanks to Walt. poured a hazy orange with a white head. aroma and flavor were a mixture of berries, citrus, barnyard, and just plain old great funktastic all the way around. There seemed to be a little spice character in the background.

2/25/12. Bottle shared by Walt at RBWG 2012. Hazy golden orange pour with a nice off-white head. Funky, yeasty, almost herbal aroma with a nice tart character on top of yeast and more of that almost herbal aspect. Quite nice.

Bottle 750ml. @ [ The Pool Tabel Tasting in Rome ].

[ As my rating # 19999 on ratebeer ]. Open with a big ( and i mean BIG) bang when we removed the capsule and a automatic cork did fly to the sky ;O) ..
Unclear medium orange color with a huge, frothy - light open, good lacing, fully diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy, barnyard, leather, tart berries - cranberries. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate acidic with a long duration, woody, leather, fruity, dry dry. Big Thx to MesandSim for this lovely beer >;O)) Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is flat. [20101220]

Thanks to Ed for sharing this one. Pours a hazy orange that was very murky. Head went away quickly. Aroma was very funky and tart up front followed by horsey notes. Flavor was tart to start, barnyard, hay, perfume, not overly puckering or sour but certainly funky.

Bottle: Shared by Slander at Mike’s place. Thanks! Pours a hazy golden with a fading head. Usual Cantillon funk in the aroma- leather, horseblanket, lactic and citric acidity- the cranberry tartness is very subtle. Crisp acidic body. Dry and funky with leathery qualities, funky cheese rind and horse blanket. The cranberry notes are subtle but compliment the tart citric and lactic acidity. Complex and delicious.

Bottle man many thanks to Simon, had in the rake. Alround rating: Bottle 139/168. Big funky sour cantillon lemon character, the cranberries do add some fruit, but its all about the super acidic in your face funk. Its really developed well and im soo glad i got the chance to try this. Chin chin!

Bottle, #133/168. I had this in my cellar for a few years; finally cracked it open to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. We had the same experience as beastiefan2k after popping the cap. The cork started to advance upward from the neck of the bottle on its own, and after 15 or 20 seconds, the cork launched at least 10 feet into the air, hitting some tree branches before landing on the table. A cool start to a beer experience I’ve been anticipating for a long time.

The beer pours murky golden amber, capped with a huge off-white head. Aroma is dry and a bit chalky, with notes of lemon, brett, earth, and a little leather. Flavor follows suit, with citrus, especially lemon and grapefruit, wild yeast, earth, barnyard, and mild vinegar. Very dry, mildly tart finish. I did not get any substantial cranberry notes from either the aroma or the flavor, but it was delicious nonetheless.
