Oct 11, 2009 My first unblended!
750mL vintage 2006 poured into a flute. Nice thick beery off-white head that goes away pretty fast. The color is cloudy orange and golden. The aroma is dusty champagne as well as as layers of flowers/fruit and a touch of fresh hop and malt. The flavor is intensely sour at first and morphs to cherries, some tannins, a bit of apple peel, and a hint of malt and hop. Interesting stuff.

Oct 10, 2009 Dark yellow colored. Flowery aroma with thin cherries and wooden tones, soft sourness dominating. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is more sour with soft palate still, only thin flowers come up. Aftertaste turns to wooden with lemon. Good and soft Cantillon.

Oct 8, 2009 Pours an goldish orange. Some nice funk from the brett, notes of vinegar in the flavor, but not in a bad way (Not from oxidation). Some nice floral notes are present in the aroma. What a spectacular tartness.

Oct 2, 2009 In Milan at BQ Birra, from tap, pours hazy yellow to orange with a huge foamy head, great aroma of cheese, olives, flowers, tree fruits like peach and strong winey acidity, tart and refreshing flavor like wet leaves, grapes, farm bursting flavors and nice hoppy finish, very complex. Great!

Sep 30, 2009 Bottle from 07. Pours a nice golden yellow you can see through with a nice white head to it. Has a sour funk smell to it. Taste at first is pretty sour but has a nice tarty finish to it. Great lambic

Sep 29, 2009 375 ml bottle - 2004 vintage; pours lovely light yellow, slight haze and faint white head along the edges; lots of soft wild flowers, lemons, wild grass; stale lemons, grainy with mild sourness; delicate and subtle combo of a little funk, sweetness and earthy wildflowers; wow, pretty much a masterpiece

Sep 25, 2009 Mica male come voto #900, un altro eccezionale lambic di Cantillon, anzi non si potrebbe dire "lambic"..solo malto d’orzo per questa ’nuova’ gemma della gamma dei Van Roy, che nell’aroma ha l’acidità pungente del lambic migliore ma anche la complessità maltata di una leggiadra ale e un poco di aceto. In bocca è splendidamente articolata, più asciutta ancora e forse un poco meno dissetante del broucsella, però comunque eccezionale.

Sep 23, 2009 750 from Grapes of Mirth into glass. Really pretty lighter medium orange with lots of carbonation. Fluffy, super fizzy off-white head that starts off aggressive and then fades pretty quickly. The head really sparkles you can hear it. Smell is true to lambic funkiness and wonderful sour white grapes with a woody background. This is seriously drinkable, the flavor is much lighter than the color or aroma suggest. Sour white grapes and lemon in the flavor with a lemony acidic aftertaste that is pleasant. The mouthfeel is bright and fizzy. Loverly simply loverly. Was really looking forward to this and it did not disappoint!
