Jun 5, 2008 Updated: Jul 5, 2009Re-rate 2005 bottle in July 2009 (no big changes though, and same rating): Cloudy orange with no head. Aroma has wood, leather, barnyard and a little grass, the classic Cantillon, but slightly subdued - a little white grapes can be noticed in the background. Even more subdued is the flavour. If there was ever such a thing as a smooth tartness, this is it. There is a nice white wine sweetness making it extremely refreshing. One of the easiest drinking Cantillons, but with all the qualities you can expect.

May 28, 2008 Cloudy yellow coloured lambic. A round sour nose. Some grapefruit in the taste. Not much flavor of muscat grapes. Anyway a very good lambic.

May 24, 2008 (Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 23 May 2008) Pale orange colour with brief, bubbly, white head. Tart, fruity nose with notes of barnyard and old socks. Tart, fruity taste with hints of grapes. Dry! Perfectly balanced tartness, not very harsh, making it seductively enjoyable. Very nice beer.

May 12, 2008 Gold to orange colored beer. Sour aroma with some hints of grapefruit. Flavor is the same. The grapes don’t bring much to the overall flavor. Typical lambic flavors, maybe a bit tannine noticable. Nevertheless a good Lambic!

May 11, 2008 Powerfully sour. I was not expecting it to be as sour as it was, especially since the commercial description states that it is more mellow than other ones. I disagree. This bottle from 2005 actually took the sour notch up quite a bit. It was delicious though. A bit more Gueuzey than the other ones (rose, etc) simply because the grape was not as obvious. Great beer!

May 8, 2008 Bottle, 2005. Aroma mostly the typical Cantillon funk and sourness with a hint of grapey sweetness balancing things out, but remaining in the background. Flavor starts off much the same way, but by the time the swallow comes about, there are tiny, tiny, tiny, green, green, green, sour, sour, sour grapes darting about the mouth. These buggers remain on the lips as uber-tart reminders of what just happened for a good while. Such a unique (and luscious) experience, even amongst other Cantillons of the same style.

May 8, 2008 Bottle (bottled in 2005). Pours a clear light orange with no head. Aroma and flavor of tartness, super sour green grapes, wood, the usual barnyard funk, bitter melon rind. Finish almost tastes like wine. Tasty, but soooo sour! It took me about 2 hours to finish one wine glass full of this!
