Mar 24, 2006 Bottle. Cloudy orange with a hard fought for slim white head, soon gone. Aroma is tart, sour grapes, oaky and barnyard. Flavours are tart, sour, barnyard, sour grapes and quite acidic. Light bodied and low carbonation. Very good.

Mar 21, 2006 "Man they can put some tart in there poured a cloudy orange color no head. Aroma was yeasty and musty. Flavor was hard to find cause of the tartness. apples and grapes."

Mar 10, 2006 Hazy orange pour with yeast residue happily floating in the glass, the head is thin and white. Strong aroma of barnyard and grapes. Good assertive flavor of barnyard and grapes with acidity and barnyard. The body is light with a dusty, cobwebby texture and low carbonation. It’s a very good lambic but it lacks some finesse and cohesion to be excellent.

Mar 9, 2006 Bottled 2004, cloudy yellow gold color, with a shy white head, but vanishing in a blink of an eye, the nose has a wet oaky wood note, hint of white grapes fruitiness and a touch of honey, still has the famous cantillon tartness, sourness and wineyness aspects in the aroma plus with an acidic and a leathery accent. Follows by the traditional lambic flavors, with a mild fruitiness character from the muscat grapes used, who seems to come first, following by the sharpness of the beer, but being less agressive than the other cantillons, the brettanomyces are doing their job again, with the tartness, sourness, oakiness notes, leading towards a dry winey finish.

Mar 8, 2006 Updated: Mar 27, 2006(Bottled. 03/2006). Oh my god. This is incredible. Aromas of dirty gym socks. Complex tastes that do not deserve my feeble attempts to describe ’em. Get a bottle and drink it and shame on you if you pour it out. Suffer through this one no matter what you do ... it is worth every agonizingly wonderful sip.

A fully diminushing small fizzy white head that tops up a hazy light orange body. No lacing. Few average size particules. Many medium bubbles. Deep barnyard, acidic and basement-like nose, all together. Less tartness/sharp then the FouFoune we had right before. More smooth and mellow. Cant really feel the muscat grapes, but from the unsual thin sweet floral aroma. Carbonatation is a little weak and refrain the flavors. Dry mouthfel but not as acidic as i’ve come to like Cantillon.

Mar 1, 2006 2004 vintage, sampled at the "let’s piss off Clark" tasting.
A darker shade of peach, sort of like apricot juice. Like most lambics, head is pretty much non-existent.
Aroma is like an old French farmhouse, filled with hay, the shingles are a little old, the rain slowly drips in. A few tired old work horses, their heavy leather saddles hung on the support beams for the night.
Acidity is a much more tame than the Foufoune that blew me away minutes before, it still had that great musty Cantillon flavor, the usual lively carbonation was a bit more subdued, odd since this bottle is relatively young. Aftertaste was also a little less intense, not as drying. A great Beer for sure, just not at the level of some of the others, IMHO.

Feb 28, 2006 The smell is horrible i was feeling like i was in a stable but i must say that the taste (oh lucky me) was different from that. Its sour (duh) and we feel the raisin in it but let me say that the end remember not excactly the smell but...something like that well not a beer for me the only point that i like about this beer is that her taste is really different then her smell
