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.

(Bottle) Pours hazy yellow. Fruity and citric aroma of lemon, blood grapefruit and blood oranges. Light woody and light notes of grape. Medium sour. Something a bit spicy is also notable. Fruity, citrusy flavour with some wood. Light tart, some tannins and rather dry. Medium body.

Really tarty aroma with something akin to apple and hints of honey. Sour and fruity taste, somewhat one-dimensional, but very refreshing and drinkable.

Bottle. A very hazy yellow color, standing still it reminds me of honey. Sour aroma but doesn’t differ from the Cantillons gueuze aroma that much. The particularity comes out in the flavor which is a mixture of basic lambic and white wine, a very balanced flavor but tends to go more towards white wine in the end. The lambic tartness isn’t coming out that much and the finish gets a bit mellow.

Draught @ Akkurat, Stockholm. Pours a darkish hazy yellow/orange color with a small white head. Sour tart fruity malty aroma. Sweet malty but tart fruity grapefruit flavor. Tart sourish fruity finish.
