Jan 14, 2007 Bottle. Pours cloudy dark orange with a small fizzy white lasting head, spare lacing though. Aroma is heavy malt (hay, straw), average hops (flowers, grass), heavy yeast (earth, musty, leaves) with notes of cask and wood. Medium bodied, oily texture, soft carbonation and an astringent finish. Average duration, light acidity, moderate acidity and heavy bitterness. Damn, Cantillon makes a TRUE Lambic.

Jan 11, 2007 Bottle was 2004 yet didnt hold up with time at all. Guess this had to be drank fresh off the shelf? I also paid a hefty price of eighteen dollars if you could believe it or not. Flavor is almost all gone and is more of a flat yet fizzy liquid extremely tart with sourness and biterness. Im not sure if this is how an unblendid lambic is supposed to be but im not a fan of it if it is. Then again could be a bottle not taken care of by the liquor store owners. Appears to be crystal clear with no dust specs or anything seen floating and the head is a firm patch of foam. Aroma does have a hint of a white rose or flower filled with pollen.

Jan 6, 2007 2003 vintage, bottled in 2004 according to the cork. Hazy golden, big head that reduced to medium, fine bubbles. Definite lambik aroma with hints of wood and cheese. Tart fruity flavours, good bitterness ending with a very dry, woody finish. A truly great complex beer

Jan 5, 2007 Vintage 2003. It’s a fantastic orange golden and slightly hazy color and a nice, creamy head. The cork tells me that this one was bottled in 2002, and now it’s November 2006. The aroma and flavour is acidic, not just acidic, extremely much so!! I do get notes of fruit too, but the acidity leads me to believe that it takes a much more hardcore lambic lover to cherish this one, than I am. 1704

Jan 2, 2007 750ml - 2003 - thanks MrWalker - Happy New Year 2007! - Aroma is sour lemon, horse blanket, hay, yeast and dust. Pours transparent orange-brown with a big head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with more malt to balance it out. Bit of incense in the aftertaste. Palate is tart and smooth. A bit thin but still very flavorfull and tasty.

Dec 31, 2006 Vintage 2003. Orange amber hazy colour with a small white head. Fruity herby little sour and yeasty aroma. Full body, little sour. Finish is herby and fruity with a distinctive bitter-sour touch. Little tart as well. Very special and strange beer, but rather good anyway.

Dec 29, 2006 Bottle. Hazy orange body with a small off white head. Musty, yeasty aroma with light notes of lemon rind. Flavour is a bit quick - falls of the tongue at a rapid rate with only a fleeting glimpse of light malt, and mild lemon citrus, and very muted musty funk. Lingering astringent lemon after a dry bitter finish. Average palate. Not unpleasant but does not make me crave another. A graduation/Christmas gift from some friends including DuctTape and TheRoot, shared with Mabel and Tuqueboy at a Christmas function.
