4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 75 cl, shared with friends. Beautiful natural reddish cherry colour. Taste is cherry and light sour, and so it goes with the taste, with the sourness not at all dominating however and giving the beer its specific good taste.

375 Bottle. Had with a nice meal of tomato linguini. Beautiful red color with a tiny pink froth. Acidic aroma of fruit, wood and ripe cherries that add some light sweetness. A very nice sour flavor with cherries and some citris on the finish. tingles the palate. Medium-bodied. Another nice one from Cantillon.

Pours a deep red with aromas of sour, light cherries. The body was medium and was sour, tart. Cherries seeped through enough and it was smoothe and easy.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Mmmm, good. Red, with no head. Very tarty aroma - tart cherry and lemon. Flavor is cherry, with lemon and a wet stone , basement note. Very sour / tart, as one might expect, with battery acid...look, I understand that saying things like "wet stone" and Battery acid" may not sound appealing, but this stuff is soooo good...

04 Bottle. Ruby pour with tan head. Acetic aroma maybe slight cherry and oak. Notes include sour acetic acid, oak cherry. Kind of hard to finish a whole bottle yourself.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle pours red with a quickly fading pink head. Aroma is that typical Cantillon goodness, with cherry, barnyard, and oak. Flavor shows the same, but much more acidic than the nose let on. Body is light to moderate with a healthy amount of carbonation, and finishes on a moderate vinegar note. I think i’m going to have to agree with some others on this one, and say that it was probably just a little too dry for my liking. It seem like it just lacks that little extra bit of juicy sweetness that would pull it back from being so vinegary.

750ml bottle from Brouhaha brewpub. i have always wanted to try a real lambic, but wasn’t able to ever get my hands on one. i had never heard of this beer before the batender recommended me it. bottle was 3 years old, and 22 bucks!
the bottle has a cap, and then a cork. pretty cool. she served us this beer in tulip glasses. pours a deep, hazy red with a thin light pink head that quickly dissipates. the nose is just incredible. sour cherries dominate, but yeast is very noticeable too. taste is intense sour. i mean really sour! mouthfeel is light, and nicely carbonated. this was one of my most unique, and enjoyable beer experiences i have ever had. for that, i have to give this beer a pefect score. well worth the money i spent on it.
