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!

Aug 28, 2008 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!!

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.
