May 8, 2005 Aroma smelled like a fermented barnyard. Body was cloudy orange with a big head that left lots of lacing on glass. Bitter and sour taste was a downside for me. Reminded me of drinking cheap rhine wine some years ago. Had a dry aftertaste to the beer. Alright after work but not the best.

Nov 6, 2006 Beer 14 of the tasting. This has quite a bit of bite, not as much as the Hannsens. A simpler lambic in complexity, it seems fairly smooth as well. Good stuff. Love that sour bite.

Jan 2, 2003 Extremely sour, lactic nose and taste. Smells almost like a clogged drain at first - better to let it breathe. Cloudy orange-brown color and very fizzy. Grapefruit-like tastes. Deposits a sharp dollop of sourness on the roof of the mouth before the swallow. Chalky finish that evaporates quickly. Challenging but worth the effort.

Jan 27, 2008 37.5cl bottle, 2003 vintage, via magic_dave6. Pours a slightly hazy dark gold body under a thin fizzy beige head that settled to a wispy covering. Some light visible carbonation. The nose is full-on classic Cantillon funkiness. Moldy basement, barnyard, just light sourness, stinky feet, and just very earthy. The flavor is very sour and incredibly funky. It’s kinda like licking sweaty feet, yet I love it! It’s just so raw and and untamed. Not as cheesy and acidic as their gueuzes, it tastes old and relaxed. A little oakiness on the finish. Mouthfeel is bone dry and sharp with nice soft carbonation, just enough to keep it interesting. This was pretty great. Just all funk and minimal acidity, my prefect Lambic. Could have gone for a 75cl bottle of this bad boy.

Sep 13, 2006 Bottle shared with blankboy, tupalev & HogTownHarry - tupalev’s bottle. Reddish sunset gold with a small white head. Tart funky nose with some prominent herbal hop notes. Flavour is simple by Cantillon’s standards, but is still very nice - has a subdued funkiness and mellow tartness, with some lemony notes, a bit of malt coming through, and a lingering bitter finish. A very interesting variation on a lambic - glad I could try it.

Feb 20, 2007 Updated: May 27, 2008Rerate, 750mL bottle, 2004 vintage, courtesy of wickedpete. Thanks, Pete! Pours a bright, hazy golden-orange color; very light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Intensely funky, sour citrus and horseblanket in the aroma; clear, dense, tart and funky citrus-dominated nose. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: following the nose, loads of tart, funky citrus, salt, lemons and overripe fruits; intensely flavorful, nicely carbonated, salty, and funky citrus-dominated lambic. Lengthy, sour finish: citrus, funk, lemons, and breadiness; solid levels of acidity throughout. Tasty, generous stuff. 8.4.8.4.15=3.9
Draft, Max’s 3rd Annual Belgian Beer Festival, courtesy of artusory. Clear, yellowish-orange appearance; headless. Huge amounts of funk, horseblanket in the aroma; lemon and tart citrus. Huge, tart acidity; uncarbonated; tart citrus and barnyard funk; quick, citrus and funky finish. 8.3.6.3.13=3.3.

Jan 15, 2007 Well after rating number 2000 I guess the Columbus crew felt I should finally complete my styles so Sliffy and Puddintane and Beervirgin72 all brought a bottle of this - Thanks! - Pours cloudy amber with a slight white head. Aromas of swiss cheese, hay, and some grass. Flavor is cheese, sourness, a little candi sugar, and a touch of oak. Acidic and sour on the palate with a dry finish.

Oct 8, 2006 Bottle, from Slob. Holy MOLY! AN UNBLENDED LAMBIC! Thanks again, Slob! Pours deep cheddar-orange with an ample head that leaves a fleeting network of lace. An aroma of crisp lemon immediately is evident as soon as the first drop hits the glass. Flavor is a very tart and tangy lemon/orange/lime. Notes of straw and grapefruit are an afterthought, but only after asserting themselves ever-so-briefly. Very floral and rounded. Mouthfeel is almost carbonated in feel, though the beer itself is only slightly carbonated. Probably the tartness and sharpness of the ingredients. As my first unblended, this one is dang good.
