Apr 27, 2007 750 ml thanks to drewbeerme for this sample. Pours a yellow hazy color with a white thin head. Funky aroma of sour grapes and lemon. Sour flavors vinegar and acidic woody .... really tart like a light gueze. And maybe that doesn’t sound appealing, but it was tasty. Finishes very dry.

Apr 25, 2007 2005 vintage. This is the first unblended lambic I’ve tried. Pours hazy orange-gold with a bubbly white head that quickly disappears. Musty aroma of yeast, lemon, apple, spice, and old wood. Taste is fruity, citrus sweet up front, but instantly turns into a dank acidic sourness with an apple wine/vinegar bite. As it warmed the sourness lightened up just a bit. Dry, sweet finish akin to a Flemish.

Apr 25, 2007 Cantillon makes unique stuff, I can’t deny that. But they’ve become hit or miss with me. This one pours hazy jack-o-lantern orange with 1-finger white head. The aroma is heavy citrus, apple, pear, funky spice, and some earthy notes. The flavor is tart and very citric, although not as mouth puckering as some other Cantillon’s I’ve quaffed, with flavor notes of pear, apple, and funky yeasty citrus. Complex and enjoyable.

Apr 25, 2007 75cL, 2004 vintage. Cloudy, rusty, dark amber color. Some malty aspects to an otherwise lemony and musty aroma. Some old socks in there. Flavor is citric-tart, lemony but not extreme, with a backdrop of dust and malt. Acidic but not harsh. Not bitter but certainly dry. Surprisingly drinkable and refreshing. Musty, mellow finish.

Apr 24, 2007 750ml, vintage 2004, i think this is my first unblended lambic. pours almost hazy orange with barely a head. nose is very sour and tart lemon, cobwebs, vinegar, with slight anti-septic note. mouthfeel is pretty acidic. flavor starts off pretty raw and unpolished (perhaps cause it’s unblended), tart and sour lemons, vinegar, white grapes, and noticible band-aid note in the middle. this is tasty, sorta gueze-like but unique in it’s own right.
