Jan 13, 2007 Hmm, what color is this? It looks pink/amber in the glass (a champagne flute) until I lift it to the light. Then it is rusty peach color. There is a thin head of tan/pink foam that dissipates almost immediately.
Initial tart cidery aroma, followed by mild cheese (cheese?) and raspberry. Tart, funky, and acidic in the initial flavor, followed by sour raspberry. Light bodied and mildly effervescent. Quite dry in the finsh. A raspberry cider flavor lingers.

Jan 3, 2007 Bottle. Pours a hazy reddish-pink, with a decent sized light pink colored head that slowly settles out. Aroma is funky yeast, some sourness, raspberry. Flavor is raspberry, yeast, grapefruit, grass, straw. Palate is mega dry, medium carbonation, acidic, sour. Pretty good.

Jan 1, 2007 Pours a slightly hazy bright red, with a tiny head and red cordial look about it... as with the other 4 bottles I purchased from the brewery, carbonation was nearly non existent, which I think is pretty bad form.
Aroma shows the typical Cantillon brettyness well, very dry and barny, with some fresh raspberry in the background. The flavour at first is very light and fruity, but comes stronger as the tartness set in... the raspberries are well balanced in, providing a slight sweetness. By the finish, the sourness is really strong, setting the scene for a massive dry, fruity twang. Great, but held back so much by the lack of carbonation.

Jan 1, 2007 2005 bottle – Orange red-brown body, huge beautiful white-pink head; Beautiful light fresh raspberry nose, barrel, hay, grapefruit and some barnyard; Soft, light, perfect sparkle, fruity acidy fresh and a pleasant amount of it (not to the extreme as often the case with Cantillon brews), soft texture; Very long fruity lemon acidy fresh finish, a very little balanced acetic acid as well, pleasant aromas more ripe grapefruit then raspberry, though. Very, very nice and very drinkable beer.

Jan 1, 2007 Cork states it was bottled in 2.004! What a find! Light orange color. Aroma of fresh picked raspberries. Taste of a handfull of tart raspberries just thrown into your mouth. Awesome. Enjoyed at room temp., the flavor opens up the more it is exposed to air. WOW, what a find! SOUR CITY!

Dec 27, 2006 Wow, this beer was sour! I really wasn’t expecting this flavor, although at first sip I didn’t enjoy it, but as I sip more, I started tasting more flavor. I can’t say I loved this, but I didn’t hate it. A very fruity beer with a sour bite.

Dec 26, 2006 Hazy orange-red. The aroma is sour with an overlay of sweet raspberries. Wonderful tart fruity taste with yeast, sour grapes and spices. Even a little sweetness. Brings back memories of Brussels and the Cantillon brewery. Drank this with roast turkey and Christmas pudding. Just the job.

Dec 23, 2006 Pours a ruby red with pink foam. Aroma is sweet fruit and citric acid. Truly dominant taste indeed, inflecting a strong bitter, sour and acidic flavor, packed with cassis. Tart, puzzles the palate, levels the lingus. Nice beer here. Sampled from a 750ml bottle purchased at Brickskellar in Washington, DC. Love the complexity.
