Cantillon 50ºN-4ºE

A sour barnyard aroma with a vinous character amid the barnyard and yeast. Faint vinous character in both bottles I’ve had, but the cognac showed through much more in the second bottle. Incredibly sour and worthy of the Cantillon name.

Bottle: Big apple and lemon sourness aroma with some faint oak and a touch of fruit. It pours a cloudy golden-orange with a small white ring for a head. The flavor starts with sour lemons and apple. There is some sweet apple and vanilla in the background and the finish is moderately oaky. Light bodied with mild carbonation.

Poured a hazy, dark golden color with a small ring of white bubbles around the edges, and light lacing on the glass. Aroma of brett, citrus fruits, light cognac, leather, oak, and green apple. Taste of green apples, red grapes, vanilla oak, cognac, brett, and a sour, wild yeasty finish.

[Bottle] shared by BDR. 200th rating! Pours a hazy straw gold with a moderate off white head. Aroma is fairly alcoholic, some traditional cantillon funkiness, slight sweetness, sour apples, some grape, and earthiness. Flavor is not terribly sour. Some alcohol, grapiness, woodiness, slightly herbal and earthy, I’m not terribly familiar with cognac, so I can’t comment on that aspect, but overall a fairly good beer.

750ml bottle shared courtesy of egadjzis. Poured a deeper and hazy golden color with a smalle sized head. Aromas of wood, some funkiness, floral, grapes, and some cognac in the background. Tastes of vanilla, wood, funky, floral, citrus, the same trace of cognac, and grapes. Nice sour and tart finish.

Thanks to egadjzis for sharing this one. Pours a hazy orange/golden with a smaller bubbly/creamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of floral, perfume, mixed citrus, tons of flowers, sour cherries, funky/sour nose, grapes, kind of woody. Wonderful nose. Flavor of sour cherries, funky/sour, oak, light vanilla, wonderfully floral, mixed citrus, moderate bitterness, right amount of tartness.

Pour is murky orangey with a thin off white head...smell is funky and tart, well it is a Cantillon...hints of wood and grapes...taste is, well I hesitate to say mild...some white grapes and nice barnyard funk with hints of charred oak...lightly bitter and tart in the finish...

courtesy of Tony Flükiger - pours a hazy golden-blond colour without foam; aroma of cellar and apples, cider-like, notes of cinnamon; light to medium malt body; fair acidity (but quite modest by Cantillon standards), refreshing, quite dry and long fruity (apples) and acidic finish - very good
