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.

Dull yellow going on gold body. Big fat bubbles for a head that did not hang around. White wine on the nose as well as sweat. Sweet grapefruit in the taste folllowed by the familiar sourness of the cantlllons.

Bottle at O’Brien’s, San Diego, shared with a bunch of RateBeer locals - courtesy of someone or other. (Things were getting pretty fuzzy by this point - I could barely take notes, let alone keep track of who was buying the rounds. So this rating will have to serve as a placeholder until I can get it a more informed/sober review.) Hazy yellow-orange colour. Funky barnyard nose, a little cheesy. Sour, acidic, lemony flavour. Jeez, these notes suck!

Blind taste test Id’ swear up and down this is a gueuze....virtually no fruitiness (grapes in this case supposedly) but still pretty decent and challenging. I’d say the main flavor was sour wheat.

Pale orange/dark golden colour. Not much head or carbonation. Sourish aroma of rhubarbs with a slight honey touch. Very sour with a grape fruit bitter finish.

extrememly pungent with a bitter almost alcohol like aroma. pale golden/yellow color with no head and small amounts of lacing. Extremely sour and has a shocking bite in the flavor. I enjoyed this, but there are other lambic’s that i enjoy more.

My first real lambic (this is hardly a fruit lambic). Really unpleasant beer. Aroma is bacon, horseblanket, and must. Mouthpuckeringly sour, which is cool with me, but ridiculously musty. I don’t like my beers tasting like pork products. Really gross.

I had this brew at Dr. BIll’s 12 Hour Beer extravaganza in Anaheim, CA on August 20, 2005. Thanks, Dr. Bill. This beer is a study in sourness, and not in a good way. I simply did not enjoy it.
