3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pink tinged amber color, slightly hazy with a quickly dissipating pinkish head. Fruity raspberry aroma with sourness in the background. Mouth puckeringly sour flavor with hints of fruit in the background. Develops complexity as it warms, but remains accutely sour. Minimal barnyard qualities. This was a nice deviation from the norm for me. I enjoyed it, but don’t think I will return to it (or any other lambic) on a regular basis.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a light reddish color with a big and foamy, though quickly diminishing, pink head. Aroma is raspberries - very fresh aroma. Taste is very sour and acidic, but still fresh.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Foamy when poured, but the head disappears immediately afterwards. What’s left is an amber coloured, clear beer. Quite a strong funk, only a slight fruitiness - grenadine. Some rough, medicinal hops. Taste is clearly dominated by the lambic sourness, but it is neither astringent nor boring. Instead, it offers a complexity that develops form a faint sweet note over a mild funk into a sharper acidity. Not super accessible, but definitely a rewarding drink, if you grave to a light yet challenging and complex tasting. I like it. (375ml bottle)

my first cantillon, bought in 2007 by me (2006 Vintage), the bottle traveled from school, to AZ back to Ohio, and it shows.. removing the foil reveals some mold on top of the cork, and on the bottle... popping the cork out still popped and this was carbonated, the raspberry was still there just not dominate it has given way to the acidic lambic, tart and sharp this beer finishes remarkably fast, with a crisp tingling. Wish I had more of the fruity cantillons to try.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
1996 bottle shared by a very generous man at STL bbbb. Pour is cloudy copper with a very faint hint of red and a medium off-white head. Aroma is wicked tart with a very distant note of berries and a very funky note. Flavor is wicked tart with notes of wood and very little berries notable. Still, really good and really unique.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours murky burgundy with a minimal white head. Nose is funky raspberries and spice. Tastes is sweet with a massive tart kick on the end. This is not even a year old I can’t imagine how much better this gonna get with some age. Mouthfeel is crisp and light bodied. This is a solid session sour!

Pink flavour, lots of carbonation.
Lovely sourness laced with fruit. Bordering on vinegar, so detectable sugar left from the fruit. Lovely refreshing.

There is little doubt about what is put in the beer. Once the bottle is opened, it smells of raspberries, and this continues with greater intensity of flavor. The yeast adds a hint of citrus and lemon zest. This is a pleasant beer with great freshness. The fulness and alcohol fits the beer well.
