Sep 14, 2008 Cask at GBBF with in the face with the leg of a barstool tasting. Alround rating: Alround awsomeness, i was in a dilema over between this and the guirardain lambic. However the aciditidy iof cantillon stopped it from being yee haa awsome. Id love the both at any one time. Outstanding. A pleasure to have been in its presence.

Sep 10, 2007 Bruxellensis. 3 years old. Very intense aroma. Honey, grapefruit, lemon, wood. Oaky flavor. All what I found in the aroma comes back with the same complexity and intensity. No carbon, off course, totally flat. Close to perfection.

Aug 21, 2006 [Draught at GBBF, 2 years old] Dark yellow, flat, almost clear. Cidery, vinegary citric barnyrad aroma. Light but firm body, distinctly sour, but not as mindogginly sour as some of the bottled Cantillons. Complex and just wonderful.

Mar 3, 2005 Updated: Mar 8, 2005On draught at the Moan and Dove 2/25/05. Served in its own glass at approx. 50-55 degrees. 2002 vintage.
Finally! I’ve been looking for this beer for some time now and it was a wonderful sight to see it in front of me at last. Lightly hazy, soft yellow and light peach-fuzz colored body with no head. Seems it has lost its luster, if it had any to begin with. Aroma of light apples, moist hay, light barnyard notes and an easy-going sort of mild cheesiness. The flavor, at first, seems relaxed and there is no sour punch at the beginning, but the yeastiness grows on the palate towards the finish and the palate grows accustomed to it quite easily. Light notes of bacteria mixed with some honey and perhaps some tart, tangerine-like flavors. Halfway through the glass, and I don’t even realize it. Wow, this is an easy-drinking beer! Hints of carbonation grace the palate, not sharp or prickly, but large, airy bubbles add a light feel to the body. Slight wateriness at the end. A very relaxed and agreeable lambic.
I think in heaven, this is served as a daily session beer.
