Bottle shared by ygtbsm94. Thanks Brad. This is one incredible sour. Pours a murky rust color with little head. The aroma was tons of oak and white grapes. Light and pleasant aroma. The carbonation is lively, but not over the top. Great flavor. Really easy to drink for the style. Lots of white grape flavors, earthy yeast, vinegar and lemon zest. One of the most unforgettable beers I’ve ever had.

Bottle from Sahlholdt. Pours lightly fizzy and slightly hazy orange with no head, except for the bubbles that pop on the surface, ending their life as a short-lived, white bit of foam. Aroma is heavy malt (straw, hay, light husky grain), light hops (flowers), heavy yeast (horse blanket, earth, must, barnyard) with notes of sour grapes. Medium bodied, acidic texture, soft carbonation, and a sour finish with a touch of spiciness. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and sourness.

Bottle 75cl. @ home. [ Vintage 2005 ].

This was our christmas evening beer after all the good food and the gifts from santa and the family *<;o))
Clear orange with a light red shine in the color, a small, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, white head. Aroma is tart, grapefruit, citrus, white wine, wood, grape. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy acidic with a long duration, and a dry dry finish. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is flat. [20081224]

2003 bottle, big thanks to jacob, shared with mwsf at my place. hazy orange, big sweaty armpit aroma, orange rind, yoghurt, capers, under-ripe apples, white grapes, perhaps the best cantillon beer that that i have had the good fortune to try

Bottle very graciously shared by Brad!!! Pours slightly hazy copper color with a momentary off white head. Aroma is musty ,murky, oaky, vineous. Flavor is oak, vinegar, vineous, hay, white raisin. Body is medium to light, mild carbonation, finished ultra dry, and mind numbingly refreshing! Absolutly unbelievable!!

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!

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.

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.
