Jul 3, 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.

Jun 26, 2005 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.

Jun 19, 2005 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.

Jun 11, 2005 Orange/rust color. The aroma is initially sour, with the usual bret characteristics. But there is an underlying fruit thing going on, reminicent of a very tart sauvignon blanc. Very dry and sour flavor, but with a fruit presense throughout. Not as blisteringly sour as other cantilions I’ve had. The fruit is a very nice addition to the beer. Me like.

Jun 7, 2005 Bottle. Sour white wine aroma - smells like German Federweisser. Medium yellow - slightly cloudy with no head at all. Primarily a sour taste with a dry white wine flavor. Very litlle sweetness. More like a gueuze than most fruit lambics. NIce, smooth and dry.

Jun 7, 2005 Orange, hazy appearance. Extremely refreshing. Muscat notes. Very fruity and not artificial at all. A beer of exceptional quality.

Jun 5, 2005 Updated: Jul 8, 2005From a 2003 bottle, this has a pale orange color with a slight head. The aroma is that of a "mild" gueuze, mainly the acidic tartness from the wheat, with a mild trace of some fruit or other. In taste, it still is mainly like a "mild" gueuze, the difference here being that it feels as if one licked some grapes before drinking. I.e., the fruit here makes little change to my taste buds. Still, it’s a tasty, drinkable lambic. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eve Fest at Delilah’s, Chicago, IL 06/04/2005<font size=-1>
