kkearn (994), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 31, 2008 750mL bottle. Thanks to my cousin Greg (ggaughan). Poured hazy yellow golden with minimal off-white head. Aroma is fairly lactic aroma, with some alcohol and oak. Flavor is moderately sour, with some vanilla, citrus, green apple and oak. Less tart than most other Cantillons I’ve sampled. Long tart finish. Really nice gueuze ogglethorp (882), Ohio, USA Mar 31, 2008 Huge thanks to miketd for sharing this phenominal brew! Pours hazy golden color with a soapy white head. Aroma is fantastic, lemon, barnyard, oak, sour grapes. Flavor is lemony, oaky, green grape, funk, light sweetness, fruit. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished tart and sour, with a surprising sweetness, and light creaminess. Slightly unusual for what I have come to expect from a Cantillon. Wonderful brew that I hope to come across again!!! Loved this one!! Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Mar 31, 2008 Now this takes awsomeness to a whole new level. Bottle thanks to Ang! Like the most balanced and drinkable lambic ever, like i had my glass in under 4 mins while everyone else is still nosing it. The cognac is subtle and adds a pepperyness to the tongue on the finish, theres also some fruity notes in the aroma. Alround probably the best beer iv ever had an i just cant fiond the right words to discribe its amazingness. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA Mar 22, 2008 bottle shared at tasting. Thanks for the chance to try this one!
No head on a yellowish gold pour. Smell is musty, band-aid like, and hoppy. Didn’t get anything I would have identified as cognac though. Taste is tart, funky and nicely hoppy. Very light carbonation with a thin body. Sour but not intensely so, and a milder, thinner flavor than expected. Interesting, but something I’m probably not ready to appreciate. Skinnyviking (4142), Copenhagen, Denmark Mar 19, 2008 Bottle. High white fluffy and lasting head. Strange. Hazy amber body. Mild and fruity aroma of mainly grape fruit. Flavor is acidic but not sour, mild and round fruityness. Low carbonation. Long bitter aftertaste. Emil (6075), Copenhagen, Denmark Mar 18, 2008 Bottle. A golden beer with no head. The aroma and taste is of fruits, cognac, and it´s acid, dry and light sour. Medium body with a dry acid finish. miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Mar 18, 2008 Picked up at the brewery. Pours a orangey gold with virtually no head. Aroma of lemon, yeast and fruity tartness. Flavor is sour, but not overwhelming. sliffy (1966), Columbus, Ohio, USA Mar 17, 2008 Shared at Cleveland tasting 3/15 Thanks Mike, Bottle: Pours a hazy gold with a loose white head. Aroma, funk, some grapes, lemony, sour. Flavor, funky, lemony, some grape and fruitiness comes through from the cognac barrel I guess. Some woody notes, a tart and acidic finish. Excellent beer.
