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.

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!

Draught @ Ebenezer’s. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a hint of orange, no head. Aroma is very vinous - white grapes, slightly sweet, with a slight hint of vinegar. Taste is soft sourness, bit of vinegar and white grapes, with the vinegar sourness getting a bit more pronounced right before the finish. Finish is dry, fruity, white grapes come out a bit more to complement the softening sourness. Soft, slightly pillowy carbonation and light body.

Nice shimmering gold color with a scant white head. Aroma is tart, lightly sweet, fruity and a definite soured edge. The flavor is a big soured musty grape punch in the front that crisps out quite rapidly on the palate leaving a pleasant lingering dry wasteland on your tongue... nice!
