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: Hazy yellow colour,flat head. Aroma of sournes, Citric, Viny, sparkling,citrus, Orange. Flvor is almost the same, but has a nice maltynes in between all this nicy sourness mix. Complex is the word for this beer. Medium body, nice long fruity finish.

Bottle (Apteekki, Turku) Slightly cloudy dark yellow, a few bubbles. Slightly sour and quite sweet aroma - honey and raisons. Very sharp crisp taste - starts with raisons and lambic, leaves a smooth sweet malt taste that lasts for ever.

Bottle, 75 cl. Cloudy orange yellow, tiny and very short white head. Grapefruits dominate the aroma, no clear wooden horsestable notes. I can imagine some white grape notes in the background, but could never have picked them out in a blind test. Medium bodied, a bit spritzy CO2 feeling. Sure is "mellow" compared to other Cantillon brews, but still a bit unbalanced with too much acidity i.m.o.

Bottle sampled. Pours orange/golden with an average size white head. Aroma of musty yeast, vinegar, citrus, acidic. The flavor is also acidic, musty yeast, fruit, moderate carbonation. Good brew.

Pours still, hazy and yellow and leaves no top save a small with ring along the inside of the glass. Aroma is fruity (but not as much as I had expected), sour and not without the typical horse-like nose. When druk the bewrage fills your mouth with a dry sensation. It almost feels as if it literaly pulls the moist out of your tounge. And of course, there is loads and loads of acidity. Not as much grape in the taste as I thought it would be before the tasting, but in retrospect that might be a good thing.

Cork says 2004 - aged 3 years. Pours bright yellow/gold into a Tumbler. No head, but bright white hugs the rim. Bright white grape and lambic funkaromas. Sharp and tart upfront with a lasting dry, Gueuze finish. The grapes don’t really stand out, but as close to wine as any beer I’ve tried. Would probably be a good cross-over for a dry white drinker...

The color was hazy, golden with orange hues. The head was thin, fizzy, and it disappeared quickly. There was barely any head. The aroma was muscadines, tart, fermented fruit, and sour. The flavor was VERY tart, sour muscadine grapes. After a few sips of this, my eyes started to water. The palate was thin/medium bodied. The finish was sour.
