Jul 3, 2007 750ml bottle provided by csbosox
Bright amber with some white head. Citrus aroma with some leather and cob webs. It starts of pretty fruity, then you get bombarded by a huge tart, acidic bitter slap in the face. Meduim body. This is rippin’ up my stomach already.

Jul 2, 2007 Aroma: mm, leather, sour, musty, mushroom, vinous, enormous, brett, insanely good. White currants, horse. Taleggio cheese, unripe apple, lactic acid, acrid.
Appearance: cloudy, greytoned orange with white head in the same tone, although very little and peculiar (looks chemical and thick).
Flavour: oh, leather, sour, wheat malt... I can reckon a slight sweetness. Very special. Some salinity. Sour, but not at all very sour. Almost bitter.
Palate: smooth, lovely, bit ’sticky’, thin, old and weird.
It’s really better on draft.

Jun 28, 2007 Absolutely heavenly. Sour and tart. Poured with like a Lambic should, lots of carbonation and a nice fluffy head which diminishes after a minute or so. What a refreshing beer. Great complex flavors with a long finish. One of the best Lambics out there. Cantilon makes some incredible beers!

Jun 25, 2007 Updated: Dec 30, 2007Bottle from Uto. Bright amber with only a thin off white ring remaining from the dense fizz. Potent and sour nose. Vinegar, orange zest, grapefruit and hay, almost that typical lambic aroma but magnified. Wow, very intense and vinous or champagne like (I swear I wrote that before reading the commercial Description) with notes of citrus and yeast. To be sipped as wine and has that belly warming feeling. The mouth watering tartness coats the tongue and leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste. None the less, amazing stuff, I’ll definately have this again...And I said I’d never do hoppy...
Re-Rate - Bottle from Quaffs
Here I am again with a whole 75cl to myself, woohoo!.
I took a bottle of this to a tasting recently and we never got round to it so I left it for the others, I’ve been craving it ever since. This bottle is definitely not on par with the previous, I’m not sure why but the cork being cracked surely didn’t help. Golden or pale amber and what was at first a huge pillowy white head has withered to nothing. Smells like straw, grapefruit and apricots. Taste is similar but tart and salty with a little alcohol burn on the way down. More subdued and definitely not as intense as the last bottle but the last pour, with all the funk, livens it up a bit. Not quite the same experience but I’ll still drink this again, it’s great. 8, 3, 8, 4, 18.

Jun 4, 2007 Updated: Jun 29, 20072004 bottle, consumed at the brewery. Stale cheese aroma, cotton-ish dry mouthfeel. Nice amber with a thick head. Dizzingly complex and hard to rate. Yeasty, a bit sour, some grapes. A good beer but the malts really weigh on your palate and make it hard to get much into a bottle...my girlfriend and I took a long time to finish the 750 mL, and she’s no slouch when it comes to drinking her share, especially for a 95 pound 5’2" Japanese girl. I started playfully trying to take her glass from her and pour more into it, and she responded by saying that she would befriend the German group at the next table (ya know, her "allies"), as to make war on me. I guess I can forgive this given that she’s from Hiroshima...

Jun 2, 2007 I had this one on draft at Brouwers Belgian Beer Month in Seattle. Appearance was a cloudy yellow/orange and had an average head at first pour. Flavor was sour, like grapefruits, acid, citrus. Its smell was floral, mild hoppiness. I also liked how it lingered in my mouth.

May 18, 2007 2004 bottle. Pours orange with a fast fading white head. The acidity and sourness are there, but seem more muted in this one, maybe it was the few years of aging that mellowed them, but then again i’ve had cantillon beers that are much older that didn’t seem muted. Light citrus and woody flavor to the finish.
