Jul 6, 2008 Another belter in my emerging taste for lambics. Just the right amount of tartiness, dry finish but really refreshing and moreish. A kind present from our kid. Good job I didn’t drink it at the time as I got pulled on the way home. Very nice and different for me.

750ml capped and corked green bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours a murky bright red body with a short-lived inch of off-white head. Smells acidic, fruity (raspberries), and just slightly nutty. Tastes like very sour raspberry with the slightest hint of sweetness toward the finish. Vegetal and tea-like at times in the aftertaste. Light to medium in body with light carbonation. Brilliantly sour and complex, just as I expected from Cantillon. A very solid lambic, but only an occasional treat considering the price.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottled in 2004 (drank 6/2008). Poured a clear effervescent light copper with a hint of pink and small white head. The sour aroma is of cheese, dirty animals, and mild raspberry. The flavor is very sour and fairly acidic. Burns the back of the throat. Less raspberry in the flavor. The acidity wouldn’t be so bad if it had some backing of flavor to it. I love funky aroma but this was not so nice.

Aroma: A bit like cider. Vinegary.
Taste: Hint of raspberry, vinegary. Pretty sour. Like it is bad.

Basically I don’t like Lambic beers...

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle. Sweet and funky nose, strawberries and raspberries. Bright red with the fastest dissipating head I’ve ever seen. Opens with hard funk and a light hint of fruit three quarters of the way in that quickly fades. Very smooth palate, highlights the sourness without letting it become overbearing.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottled at home. Very tart with a minimal short lived head. Very dry with sweetness in finish. Far better than champagne!

Jun 22, 2008 Pours a hazy apricot - looks more like a dipa than a lamic. nominal head but with a slight soapy white lacing. Nose- very tart with strong raspberr and some mustiness. Taste- very acidic and woody. Earthy, lemon character with a raspberry kick. Mouth puckering goodness! Finishes dry with some fruit sweetness.
