4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Couleur dorée, apparence brouillée, quelques grosses bulles éphémères. Arômes de bois, d’agrumes, de zeste et de vin blanc. Acidité tranchante en bouche, lactique, citronnée, une faible part de sucre résiduel toujours présent. Corps plutôt atténué, faible carbonatation. Ça c’est du lambic ! En fût, Brasserie Cantillon, Bruxelles, Décembre 2005.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, pours a cloudy yellow with a fairly large white head. Aroma of mild barnyard funk, a little citrus zest and some moderate horse blanket. Flavour is very citric, sour and also incredibly bitter, with loads of dry citrus zest, incredibly potent mouth-drying hops, and mild funk. One of the most bitter lambics I’ve had. Finishes dry, citric and bitter. Good stuff, but not among my favourite Cantillons.

Provata dalla brocca direttamente in birreria alla cantillon.
Chiara, trasparente, senza schiuma.
Molto acida e già discreto corpo...

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sample at Cantillon brewery.
Appearance: clear blonde beer, no foam, no carbonation.
Nose: oranges, pineapples, apple, grains are very prominent, barnyard, rather sweet as well though.
Taste: starts rather fruity but goes very dry afterwards. Very bitter, lots of grains. It has a large dry out effect, it’s somewhat sour but compensated nicely with the amount of sugar remaining in this beer.
Altogether a very nice drinking beer with a balance between sourness and sweetness.

Sample @ Cantillon brewery. The guy pouring it mentioned this was ’eleven or twelve months’ old. Slightly hazy golden pour with a moderate bubbly white head. The nose is sherry, some tart apple and raspberry fruits. Lightly wood. Nice soft earthy flavors. More apple, hints of caramel, mildly dry wood in the finish. Soft sourness. Super drinkable stuff. Good.

On cask at Moeder Lambic. Pours slightly hazy yellow/orange with a lofty white head. The smell is grapefruit, citrus, lemon...nice nose. The taste is a little must, lemon, mild pink grapefruit with a slight malt sweetness. Light in body and a little slippery with only a hint of effervescence. Great stuff!

3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Sample from the fermentation vessel at Cantillon Brewery. Included in tour and into a 10 CL sample - Age was 5 months
Still and hazy (of course)
A few boisterous bubbles show at the top of the glass
Nose is insanely grassy. Very little tartness at all. Tons of horse blanket and a wheat floral nose as well
Taste is nicely acidic. Has a lot of wine tannin notes, grape skins and a super horsey almost fecal finish. That may be the most unpleasant thing about this. Everything else is very refreshing
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
From cask at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Bright and hazy orange with a big white head. Quite rich, extremely tart, leaves some dryness in the finish. My taste vocabulary struggles a bit with lambics as the tartness seems to dominate - I guess in this one being young it’s more unripe fruit maybe apples and gooseberries? Anyway, felt hugely complex and tasty, way better than I had expected.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Sampled at the brewery as our first free beer.
Golden wine color, almost no head or carbonation.
It was a fresh young Lambic, less than 6 months.
Very sour with not so full body.
Dry, but not very long, aftertaste.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at the brewery. It pours a clear yellow/straw colour with some big bubbles on top. Great deep complex aroma, very nice and fresh with lots of apple, grapefruit juice, some wood and little dust. Taste is well balanced between the classic geuze sour citrusy notes and the fruity sweetness from the residual sugars. Sourish finish with lots of very fresh apple, grapefruit juice and peel. Amazing. I honestly didn’t expect this to be so good.
