5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
UPDATED: JUN 25, 2008 2000 bottle, with the cork saying bottled in 2001. Very dry grapes, wet horse and some crotch when i havnt showered for a while make for a very different and intresting aroma. Taste is very complex with similar flavours and lemon, and this is possibly the sourest beer iv ever tasted it is seriously seriously sour, with quite a bit of bittering hops too i must add.
Very different beer, very good beer.....RERATE: Had this at ronnie’s and another in the cellar. I never realised the amazingness of the hops in this, it adds so much more to the lambic, the piney citrus and fresh flowers are all subtle but still there and alround add amazingness to the beer. up fromn 3.8 - 4.8RERATE: Bottle in the house at the bass party. Awsome, on the sweeter side of the cantillons, the floural citrus lychee character of the hops justr gives it soo much more. An amazing beer and one that you could session til it comes out yir tits.

Lovely. Biscuit malt with strong lemon citrus finish. Barnyard leather saddle with clean dry finish. I just love this beer.

Like everything else Cantillon this was amazing. Subtle and nuanced and incredibly balanced. Slight sour notes and tannic mouthfeel. Vaguely fruity and floral. Amazing amazing stuff.

Waw, what a great beer! It comes straight at all of your sences. It looks great: a cloudy amber colour with a nice head. Very lively beer, even the sound it makes when poured into the glass is great. Perfect, very complex nose. Perfectly balanced taste: acidic, sour and a some bitterness in the aftertaste. Perfection, need to get more of this stuff. (Corked Bottle 75cl, label says Iris 2006, cork says 2008 so probably brewed in 2006 and bottled in 2008)

UPDATED: APR 10, 2009 750ml 2005 vintage drank in late March of 2009. Wowsers. The aroma on this one is perfect, stanky brett-wheat funk dreaminess. Deep orange color, not all the way opaque though. Foamy head. Classic lemony wheat crushes your taste buds. Wow, no wheat in this one? Achieves supreme sour and funkiness nonetheless. This beer is phenomenal, no trace of old age, holds up perfectly. Hyper bitter, full on Lambic.

UPDATED: JUL 13, 2006 750 mL bottle, capped & corked (2002 on the cork, sampled late June 2006): promising cork removal…in my eyes: pure gold, slight haze, under a generous (large for a gueuze) off white head that maintains it form even as the bubbles pop and leave small holes. Beautiful bretty, grassy, and iron laced aroma…bits of fresh pine, stone and lemon grass float on the early morning breeze of a brisk, damp, spring day. Wonderfully tingly palate, dry and sour through the finish. The tart, acidic flavours blend nicely with the hop flower remnants, sweet (though slightly bitter) orange juice, and lemon rinds. THIS is why I drink beer…C’est Bon, Indeed!

This is a masterpiece. Massive creamy head. Gleaming amber body. Resiny sheen and dense white beauty. Nose: Signature Cantillon sourness, although with a tinge of piney hop bitterness. Quite a lovely flowery effect. Mint and dill. Only a slightly crumbled dusty character pushes through. The horseblanket brett competes with hoppy resin and the overt sourness. Flavors: Tart apple and rich sweet malt. The flossy sweetness of the malts really shows through on this one. Incredible to taste a gueuze that is as syrupy sweet as this one is. Orange rind and pine trees. The dry hoppiing is magnificent . The sourness of the gueuze and the hoppy bitterness really combine to create a minty flavor that is refreshing. Carbonation is excellent as is the mouthfeel. Very resiny and slimy. Thick and coating like cough syrup. This is a MASTERFUL outing. Exquisite.
G-rat

Pours cloudy orange with a small beige head. Smells sour and floral. Taste is sour, bitter, and floral. Medium-bodied with an astringent texture and lightly prickly mouth-carbonation, Cantillon Iris finishes with a soft lingering bitterness.

la iris sono gusti acidi e amari che si uniscono in bocca in maniera molto piacevole. l’aspetto invitante e l’odore molto pungente fa di questa una delle migliori firmate cantillon.
