shrubber85 (2832), Wallhalben, Germany 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. Mads Langtved (2246), Copenhagen K, Denmark Jun 7, 2005 Orange, hazy appearance. Extremely refreshing. Muscat notes. Very fruity and not artificial at all. A beer of exceptional quality. Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA 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.

Geiserich (1775), Vienna, Austria Jun 2, 2005 Bottled:
Intensive lambic aroma, flavor has much acid, cider, lemon and grapefruit notes. Few notes of winegrapes. JensenTaster (1585), Denmark Jun 1, 2005 Updated: Aug 23, 2005(on bottle)Abricotcolour and very apple-like with a very big barley taste; in all the acidicy and tartness. i can actually taste the grapes, they adds some smoothness and a surton tanin-feel. Fresh overall impression. lilannie (383), State College, Pennsylvania, USA May 30, 2005 Aroma: farmhouse, hay, and slight sweet grape smells
Appearance: light yellow, bubbly, small white head
Flavor: sour lambic flavors, with sweet farmhouse flavors, and just a tinge of muscat grapes. Excellent!
Palate: very smooth with a sour bite. Light, sweet muscat aftertaste
Overall: Very nice beer, went well with our halibut dinner. mj (4971), Colorado, USA May 30, 2005 The lady and I opened this bottle while sitting out by the pool in the evening sun on a summer day. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a more appealing beer: murky slightly dark yellow with a white glowing head, the first taste I can sense the white grapes, and the aroma has that house Cantillon scent... barnyard qualities, along with a stenchy wheat and grain that is unrivaled. Flavors towards the end are more robust wheat and burlap tones, with the muscat grapes evident only slightly, which to me is a bonus in that the fruit used in no way overpowers or dominates the base lambic. Couldn’t have asked for a better lambic to fit the mood. madsberg (4873), Søborg, Denmark May 29, 2005 Bottled: Murky yellow coloured. No head. Good sourness. Light fruity sweetness. Light vinegar Flavour is like tasting sodapops. Has a light sourness, some sweetness. Nice wheat charackter. A little thin in the end. is fresh and cleansing.
