Commercial Description:
Vigneronne is a blending muscat grapes and lambic, the brewers and beer merchants produced the "druivenlambik" (grapes lambic). White grapes soaked in lambic. The fructose, which abounds in these fruits, enables us to make a beer which is more mellow than the Gueuze or the other fruit beers. The spontaneous fermentation, the ageing in the barrels for several years and the addition of grapes make it a distant cousin of certain white wines.

Pours a pale yellow with very little to no head, and lots of fizzy carbonation. Aromas of citrus and sour grapes. Flavor is funky sour citrus, I didnt taste much of the muscat grapes as I got in the nose. Overall a great lambic.

Il mio primo 5/5 su ratebeer. Non credo ce ne saranno molti; non credo. Però il 5/5 è una scelta programmatica, più che un risultato; è difficile accorgersi dell’eccellenza a posteriori, l’eccellenza è determinata in un istante, è l’unica vera valutazione in cui entra in gioco solo l’istinto, l’istinto e la completa soddisfazione di ogni senso. La Vigneronne di Cantillon è stato proprio questo per me, una soddisfazione completa, senza alcun difetto; e pensare che mentre la stappavo, mi chiedevo se fosse il caso di berla da solo, mi chiedevo se non sarebbe stato troppo in una serata così comune. La serata non è più comune, è una delle serate birrariamente più felici della mia esistenza. Questa Vigneronne è preziosa come una pietra rara, come un fiore sconosciuto. E’ la tipica birra... che dico birra, lambic! impeccabile, sofisticata, unico, però di cui berrei litri e litri senza stancarmi. Non ci sono parole. Forza Cantillon

Another winner by Cantillon. Aroma was nice and fruity. Sour white grapes with a hint of funk and wet blanket. Pour was a nice sparkly and bubbly light gold with a 2 finger white head. Looked like champagne. Taste was nice and tart in the front, with the sweet grapes just barely coming through. Medium acidity and little funk. Delicious and refreshing sour beer.

Bottle, shared at the Shenandoah Beer Throwdown. Pale yellow appearance, hazy, fizzy white head. Sour sweet grape in aroma. Flavor is champagne, sour, very tangy.

37,5cl bottle @ VinensVerden, Odense. Pours muddy orange with no head or lacings. Tart, funky, vinegar, earthy, fruity nose & taste with grapes dominating. Fresh & very dry end! Low carbonation! Re-rate May 09. Sour, bitter, fruity, tart, mellow and smooth. Lovely taste of grapes. Brilliant. 3,7 - 3,9

Pours a cloudy yellow-amber w/ carbonated burst of white foam that settles quickly. Some sediment. Soft, rounded, musty, vinous aroma of tannins, grapes, lemony citrus, & oak w/ notes of honey & caramel. Feel is light, astringent, & carbonated. Flavour sour & dry w/ a lingering tartness.

Orange with no head - looks like orange soda. Aroma of grape and wood. Acid flavours - grape and lemon and some kind of nutty flavour too. The grapes are there in the background, like a whit wine protruding. But as always it’s pretty extreme from Cantillon - and my stomach already burns... ouch!
