Apr 30, 2008 25 oz bottle, via trade. Pours a hazy orangish body with a small fizzy white head. Zero carbonation. Large bubbles cling to the edge of the glass. Very funky nose with lots of hay and cellar cobwebs, fresh oak, and pixie stick sugariness. Very tart acetic vinegar flavor, classic Cantillon! Intensely puckering, very vinous, reminds me of chardonnay grapes. Mouthfeel is dry and crisp with a bone dry finish. Nice moderate fizzy carbonation keeps it feeling alive. Overall, this was a beautiful Lambic. I wish we could get more Unblended Lambics here!

Apr 5, 2008 750mL bottle, courtesy of kramer17801. Thanks, Jason! Pours a murky, orange-earthy color; mostly headless; thin, off-white head with slight lacing. Enormous amounts of funk, horseblanket and citrus; some overripe white grapes, oak, and a solid touch of chablis and cheesiness. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: loads of cheese, white grapes, funky citrus and horseblanket upfront; excellent integration of citrus and unoaked chardonnay grapes; minerals and grape skins. Lengthy finish, showing white grape skins, soft oak / wood, tartness and minerals.

Apr 5, 2008 Courtesy of kramer17801, who is the most awesomest ever. Hazy pale body with a tiny white head. Stinky,cheesy yogurt nose with melon, some lemon, bile and horseblanket. Very sour, lightly sweet taste with cheese, melon rind, citrus peel, white wine, grape skins, lemon, yogurt and oak. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation. Finishes with a sourness that lasts for an eternity.

Apr 5, 2008 Thanks to Jason for this one. Cloudy yellow body. Aroma is sour, funky like feet. Flavor is dry, sour, bretty like gym clothes. Effervescent and light on the palate.

Apr 5, 2008 Updated: Apr 6, 2008Bottle shared by kramer17801. Pours a cloudy yellow wheat color with a small white head. Amazing nose of super tart burlap, dried hay, barnyard, white grapes, tart pears - hugely floral and funky and sweaty, I guess like a pile of steeping compost would smell, but really good (hah!). Hugely acetic, a bit like stomach acid but tastier! Bright, sharp, and acidic up front, then more tart and dry in the back. Really unique and interesting, bright and fruity while tasting quite aged.
