4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Cloudy orange, light film. Piercing sour nose, damp socks, white grapes. Lightly sweet, dirty bitterness, tart berries and grapes, sourness just rippling along the sides of the tongue. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation. Drying, sour finish, musty, tangy. Very good. Thanks Mes.

Taste thanks to Brad!
Dark gold, bubbly white head. Cheesy nose, light earth, cognac and earth with warmth. Cognac stronger in flavor, more earth, hay, and light sulfur. lightly carbonated given no young lambic, still balanced but not quite as integrated as most.

75cl bottle, thanks ygtbsm94. Murky amber body with small beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, tart/funk, some lemon, dirty sock. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit juice, some funk. Light-medium body, some acidity. Fairly tame by Cantillon standards.

750 bomber - shared with buds at Jasons tasting. Poured a hazy caramel with a creamy head. Funky cheese aroma, with leather and wood notes. You can get some cognac in the nose, but only slightly. Fruity apricots and lightly tart, this one is definitely more restrained than most Cantilons I’ve had. The cognac barrel aging adds a bit of sweetness and complexity to the finish. Still well carbed. A very nice & mellow lambic. Recommended.

750 ml bottle at Bier Circus. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a large white head. The aroma is super funky barrel and dry yeast. The flavor is excellent; sweet but not overpowering dry cognac, dry yeast, fruity flavors, pear and apple, sugar. Very nice. Funky and unique.

Had this at the Grand Tasting during RBSG courtesy of someone quite generous, who I currently can’t remember. Sorry. Pours a clear golden yellow with a thin white head. Huge funk and vinegar. Lightly effervescent, slightly sweet. Slow vinegar and acid that builds gently. Congac and big fat grapes. Long slow and warm finish with light cognac and a lingering tartness.
