Commercial Description:
Editor's Note: This is a special version of Saint Lamvinus that was bottled unblended (and uncarbonated) for Akkurat in Stockholm, Sweden. Only 200 bottles were made. There were no distinguishing marks on them. This is NOT available in the United States nor in Belgium, unless from Jean Van Roy himself. Some bottles are available in Denmark from certain Ratebeerians, otherwise only from Akkurat. Unless you specifically were told that you had unblended Lamvinus, and it was dead flat, you had regular Lamvinus.

75 cl bottle, courtesy of Hildigöltur. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Dry barnyard and mild wineous aroma. Sour and wooden flavoured with a distinct citric note into a rather dry citric finish. Made me shiver. Citric and wineous finish and dry.

Unlear red with no head. Sour aroma with barnyard, lemon, wood and horseblanket notes. Sour flavour with plenty of vinegar, grapes, horseblanket, wood and fruity notes. Delicious sour finish.

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.

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.

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.
