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.

Courtesy Redlight. Thanks Brent! Pours a pale orange color, with a small, quickly disappearing white head. Smells of traditional Cantillon funk, very acidic and sour smelling, to go along with some fruity notes. Just plain sour. One thing this brewetry is, is consistent. The familiar Cantillon sourness just attacks me from all angles. \Hardly even notice the grapes or fruits that are brewed with this beer. If you like sour, this is for you. If you dont, run and hide.

Shared by Ogglethorp...Thanks Brian! Super sour stuff, and really tasty. Poured a burnt yellow hazy golden color. Lots of funky sourness in the aroma with the infamous horseblanket and wet hay nose too. The flavor is very tart and sour mixed with some zesty lemon hints and an appearance by the muscat grapes...showing through very unripened young tart grapes. I certainly could not drink an entire 750 of this to myself, as it is very overpowering, but it is indeed good stuff!

Bottle shared at Cbus tasting number 9 by Ogglethorp. I will start by saying I do not care for this style in the least. It smelled like feet! I swear...The taste was simply sour/vinegar. Although I do not understand the appeal of this type of beer, as it warmed, and I continued to sip, I suppose I understood that it offered a uniqe flavor that I suppose, in time, I could develope a taste for. Please dont use my rating as a guideline, as it was VERY enthusiastically recevied by the more seasoned members of my group. Just not my thing. Sorry!

C-Bus 9 shared by ogglethorp: Bottle: Pours a hazy pale golden color with an off white head. Aroma, funky, sour, doughy, and some yeast. Flavor, lots of funk, lemons, horse blanket, yeasty, with a very dry tart finish. Delicious.

Light orange orange with a tiny head. Sour aroma with grapes. Sour and fruity taste with some sweetness in the end. Must be the grapes.

750 ml bottle from Bevmo. Poured opaque cloudy yellow-amber with no head. Aroma is difficult to describe, but rotting garbage and vaginal yeast infection come as close to anything that seem appropriate. Flavor is obnoxious, there are sour grapes, and not sour in a good way, sour in a spoiled sort of way. Mouthfeel was unremarkable. Finish was disturbing with more sour. I am open to the possibility that I got a bad bottle, but at $15.00 per bottle I’m not likely to spend the money again. A drainpour.

(75 cl bottle purchased at Swedish Systembolaget) Bottled in 2006. Pours a shady pale golden with a small white head. Acidic, sour and a bit fruity scent. Sour lemon and lime taste, lemon finish. Mouthfeel is smooth yet like biting a not so sour lemon. Pretty much no bitterness.
