Cantillon Loerik

Formerly brewed at Cantillon
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Brussels, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

750. Hazy orange-amber body with a thin white head. Well carbonated. Wood dust over the usual musty discarded grapefruit rind. Sort of a short-lived flavor. Starts off with sour grape skins, green apple and quick incorporates gentle crackerish wheat malt and a lightly toasted malt finish (with all the tart stuff too, of course). This lambic does have a nice clean flavor but I’m not sure what’s so special about it.

Very intensely vinegary and very sour/tart. But the finish is extremely dry. Pronounced cut grass notes. I’d try it again.

Bottle: Poured hazy darker gold colour. Some yeast chunks there too. White head. White wine grapes and musty cheese aroma. Flavour is a balance of juicy grapes/fruits and tart sour acid. Quite nice.

(RBESG, 750ml bottle) Off-white head atop a cloudy amber body. Aroma is minimally sweet, horseblanket, cobweb, sour. Taste is minimally sweet, lemon, tart/sour, horseblanket. Light body with some acidity. No doubt who the brewer is.

Bottle, at Plan B, Copenhagen. Cloudy golden colour. Funky and sour aroma and flavour, feels quite strong. Some hops too (more than in other gueuzes, anyway).

Bottle@Plan B, Copenhagen. Classic Cantillon sourness, but it does feel a little less sour and a bit more approachable. An easy drinking Cantillon, with farmyardy characters and citrus rind. Loved every second of it. Yum.

Bottled 75cl
Bright, hazy orange. Earthy, sour nose. Mellow, almost "sweet" for Cantillon. Fruity, juicy, excellent lambic. Nothing wrong with a lambic which went wrong :)

[FOBAB’04] Wonderfully sour with malt and a subtle wood character in the nose.. Very smooth. Notes of grapes, sulphur, lemons and lot of wood tannin. Acidic mouthfeel. Very nice
