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.

375mL bottle, cork dated 1999. Golden/yellow color with just the slightest haze. Small white head and not much lacing. The aroma is of course, funky and sour with some peppery notes. Can’t really distinguish the Muscat grapes but there is a winey/fruity character. The sourness is acetic but there is also some brettanomyces, probably some others blending in as well. There is some sweetness to balance. Great beer!

Embouteillé en 2004. Couleur jaune paille foncée, apparence pleinement opaque. De grosses bulles remontent à la surface du verre, aucune formation de mousse. Arôme similaire à celle de leur gueuze, modérément sauvage, mais davantage parfumé. Une autre composante en arôme n’est pas sans rappeler une feuille verte broyée d’un plant de moutarde des champs. Première gorgée semble sucrée, probablement due au sucre du raisin encore présent dans cette jeune bouteille, mais cette impression se dissipe rapidement pour laisser place à l’acide lactique, citronnée et à cette qualité tartrique grandissant rapidement. Corps d’épaisseur semi mince, fine carbonatation, finale sèche et de plus en plus tartrique. Tout à fait authentique! Bouteille, Charles Liquor, Boston, Juin 2005.

Funky, fruity, and some barnyard greet the nose, sour peach notes too. Hazy apricot, no head. Taste is sour fruit, funky cheese. Quite dry, tart and acidic. Very good! Thanks for sharing mds.

bottle. 2004 cork. light golden-coloured hazy body and a small almost non-existent head. strong grape (skins) in the aroma, there is some funkiness but it’s not as pronounced as other Cantillon beers that I’ve had. Menancingly tart and unforunately I didn’t feel that there was much depth to the body. Grape flavour is prominent throughout with some grapefruit and lemon similarities. Dry like no other. Pretty good but not mind-blowing.

75cl, cork dated 2000. Big musky, hay..fair body, a bit tannic...golden color. Good, but the fruit is lost on me outside of the slight tannins, and I think I’d prefer the gueuze, which this resembles, outside of its massive funky nose.
