Bottle. Rating #1500. Pours a hazy golden color with almost no head. Sweet fruity sour tart aroma with some hints of muscat grapes. Sweet tart sour malty flavor with hints of grapes. Sweet tart finish with a sour aftertaste.

May 19, 2008 Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden. Peach colored lambic with a small head. In the nose, elements of fruit (smells of peaches and apricots) combine with traditional Cantillon lambik. Flavor mixes Cantillon with some light fresh fruits. An extremely sour lambic. In contrast, I sampled a Rose De Gambrinus next to it and it was like a Lindeman’s in comparison. Yet, I really wasn’t happy with the wood element or the addition of Opitz grapes. Beer is only as good as how it tastes. I failed to see the appeal here.

Hazy orange, not much head. Fruity, sour aroma. Fruity, hayish, blackcurrant and red grape flavor. Some earthy notes, sour aftertaste. Good and extremely drinkable as always from Cantillon.

Jun 18, 2007 Beautiful bottle, at Akkurat, shared with Per
Hazy golden color. Huge aroma, cellar, fruits, grapefruit, dust, delicate flowers. Aggressive mouthfeel, extreme citric acid, still very elegant; a mix of lemon juice and concentrated grapefruit; very astringent at the end.
