Sep 4, 2008 Wow... this was not what i was expecting. This was not dry at all. Great cantillon sourness with raspberry flavor, but it was wet! Thoroughly delightful. I wouldn’t think that wetness would be a pleasing thing in a lambic, but it was great.

Aug 20, 2008 [Vintage clue? 08DEC01] Thick syrupy brown vinegar seepage on the top of the cork. Pours a murky grapefruit pink with a lovely white froth. Big raspberry seed aroma with lots of dusty tart yeast as well, phenomenally great pairing. So tangy! intense... lingering raspberry seeds. This stuff is ridiculously sour and acidic. Like drinking raspberry flavored battery acid.

Aug 17, 2008 There is raspberry in the aroma but it is overpowered by bathroom, lactic bacteria, wild yeast, and acid. The appearance is raspberry red with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. There is nothing in it to save it.

Aug 17, 2008 I like nice fruity lambic, but this just too way to sour for me to fully enjoy, the aroma is nice with some nice spring raspberries. The acidity of the beer is wild and intense, expect to pucker.

Aug 11, 2008 My first lambic . . . WOW. This is a whole new universe of flavor. I didn’t know beer could taste like this. Acid reflux-inducingly sour and acid - this really took me by surprise, but after a while I warmed up to it. Took me a long time to finish this, but it was still enjoyable once I wrapped my palate around it.

Aug 7, 2008 I have often started a few things in my life with the wrong foot and having this as the first lambic certainly belongs to that category. The scent is nothing that I would call fruity, all I got was metal and sourness with maybe a hint of raspberry if I am forced to make that judgement. The taste follows suit, the sourness overpowers the taste and there is not that much to taste aside from that besides the sweetness. Reminds me of a bad, one dimensional wine, this certainly didn’t convert me to a lambic drinker.

Aug 4, 2008 Bottle, 2007. Relatively mild aroma for Cantillon with raspberries and just a hint of horseblanket. Flavor raspberries, cherries, apricots, maybe some other fruits, extremely sour, and beyond that, EXTREMELY acidic. I loved the beer, but it took me over 2 1/2 hours to get through 375 ml. Not that it’s a bad thing to take it slow, but my goodness, I wanted to drink it but sometimes just couldn’t. Still, I couldn’t bare to give this treat anything less than a 4.

Aug 4, 2008 750 mL bottle, bottled in 2007. Pours a nice deep red with a small ring of light pink head. Aroma of sweet, tart raspberries. Some funk but mostly tartness/sweetness. Flavor is extremely tart and sour with a sweet raspberry finish. This is quite good, but it absolutely destroys your palate! Lots of lactobacillus and super acidic. Drinking this in small quantities is best. I enjoyed my first glass of this but it was very hard to drink and really wore on me by the end.
