Sour aroma with barnyard, lemon, wood and horseblanket notes. Sour flavour with plenty of vinegar, grapes, horseblanket, wood and fruity notes. Delicious sour finish. rickgordon (3285), Göteborg, Sweden Sep 1, 2007 Bottle, sampled at West Brewpub, Glasgow. Jacob brought this I believe.
Muddy red-brown colour. No head. Aroma not as hardcore sour as the Cantillons I know with a dry grapey aroma. Flavour is regularly acidic with grapes and glue. Really good grapey/beery-ish tone here. Dry puckering mouthfeel. MesandSim (5797), London, Greater London, England Sep 1, 2007 A Mes rate:
75cl bottle at West during RBESG. Thanks to Jacob for dipping into his amazing cellar, and to Tom for holding off opening this until Sim and I returned from Edinburgh. Very cloudy, pale browny red, obviously with a complete lack of head. Surprisingly mellow in the nose for a Cantillon with slight fruity notes and paint stripper. Stunning mellow red wine flavour. Very wooden and amazingly puckery and sherberty. Incredible sourness at the edges with a long long salty finish. Unreal mouthfeel. Another stunner from Jean. Sigmund (2273), Hafrsfjord, Norway Aug 31, 2007 Bottle, RBESG 2007 in Glasgow, "pre-tasting". Murky red colour, no head. Intense aroma of farmhouse, fermenting fruits and vinegar. Extremely sour flavour, pure fruit vinegar. Too sour for me.
