Aug 1, 2009 750ml bottle
6% ABV
2006 Vintage
I tried this beer on June 10, 2009 at "The Beerbistro" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I’m convinced that this brewery can do no wrong. The beer poured a relatively clear golden orange with a small amount of haze and a whole lot of effervescence. The aroma was sour apples, some earth and must. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and highly carbonated. The taste was both sour and bitter, and a great experience for the tongue.

Jul 27, 2009 2005 bottle. Pours a hazy peach gold color with a beige head. Aroma is full of tart and sour notes as I pick up some grapefruit, grapes, and citrus fruits. Flavor is tart throughout (acidic throughout too) with a nice fruit complexity, similar to the aroma.

Jul 22, 2009 375 ml bottle with a huge thanks to ArrogantB. This is a good day. With the cracking of this bottle I have filled all 72 styles. The Unblended lambic has been my white whale for some time. Pours a murky swampy orange with little to no head. The aroma is fantastic of sour/tart apples with a slight barnyard funk about it. Good puckering medium sour palate with the prominent notes of sour apples and cherries. Has a semi-sweet apple flavor in the finish. Just the smallest hint of bitter as well. Damn good beer..all the way around.

Jul 21, 2009 Updated: Jul 24, 2009"Mystery" tap at PIB. Hazy orange pour and one inch white head. Aroma was sour cherry, apple, light funk. Flavor was quite tart with the cherry and horseblanket prominent and an apple finish. Also did note a bit of "sour patch kids" flavor, which was entertaining. Solid beer, but I enjoyed the other Cantillon I had better.

Jul 20, 2009 One of the first sour beers I have tried, and so my rating is rusty on them. May I just so whooo boy that is sour. Slightly fruity, but just pretty and puckering.

Jul 19, 2009 On tap at Novare Res. 2007 (I think). Cloudy dark orange with thick dense head. Tart grainy farmhouse horsey aroma with mild floral essence. Very tart funky horseballs with subtle grassy sweetness and dry finish. Perfect texture. Awesome.
