Rciesla (3515), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Mar 27, 2009 750ml 2004 Vintage, not the best vintage i’ve had. Pours an ugly hazy amber ruby body with a pink head. Some light tart lemon cherry acidity with a light woodiness. Quickly becoming an onslaught of lactic acid and hints of isovaleric acid. Wow this is acidic as hell, ill re rate this when i get a better vintage.

TaRT! .. . super sour fantastic mouthfell .. a joy to drink! imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA Mar 23, 2009 750ml. 2001 vintage. Served into Hoegaarden glass. Pour is murky amber/orange with small white head. Aromas of vinegar, sour tart fruit, and some oak. Flavor is straight up sour! This one makes your mouth pucker like no other. Very smooth and tart. Lambic? no i think this one is a Sour for sure. Great job Cantillon! BelgianBeerGal (1277), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Mar 23, 2009 2006 Bottle bought in Maine. Definitely more lambic than fruit in this bottle. Tough to tell that it is actually a framboise. Very funky, sour and tart. Nice overall though. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Mar 16, 2009 2007 Bottle. Thin pinkish red body with a thin fizzy white head. Aroma is predominantly oak, wood, and funk, then some soft fresh raspberry flesh. Taste is fantastic, lambic funk, horseblanket, vinegar acidity, then the raspberries add just a touch of fruit. carruthm (1112), Seattle, Washington, USA Mar 14, 2009 Very red body, no head, aroma of tart cherries, taste matches, felt like a sour ale actually. Really enjoyed this. ruggedman (613), Portland, Maine, USA Mar 4, 2009 Bottle at Novare Res.
Pours a nice hazy red with a white foamy head. Smells of raspberries and hints of sour fruits. Flavor is dominated by soured fruit flavor, there’s a sweet/sour and acidic bite in the finish. This actually was quite simple for a lambic, it’s got that yogurt/cheese kind of flavor that all great lambics have, but this is suble. I liked this, but didnt love it. jgd0608 (187), Zeeland, South Carolina, USA Feb 25, 2009 Bottle from Charleston Beer Exchange. Pours a hazy red, with a nice comfy white head that has hints of red. Smells funky, rasberrys, maybe strawberries. Good so far. Medium mouthfeel, nice carbonation and definitely full of rasberries and even makes ya pucker. Very solid brew, lookin forward to more Cantillon.
