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.

I’m not crazy for Lambics too tart and fruity for me. Tart, sour, and fruity flavors. Finishes sticky, chewy, and crisp.

Bottle thanks to Mullman. Cloudy golden color with no head. Very little carbonation. Funky, musty, somewhat vinous aroma that was very enjoyable. Flavor was sweet/tart with all the great funky characteristics of Cantillon lambics, but mellowed somewhat by the addition of the muscat grapes. I love Cantillon!

Bottle. Nice, refreshing, acidic/citric, earthy aroma. Unclear golden/orange colour, no head. Quite acidic flavour, going on aggressive. A little sweet. Some earth. Slight yeast aftertaste. Good.

Bottle at the brewery. Orange colour with no head. Grape, light acid aroma and a dry sweet sour taste. Medium to full body and a sweet sour finish.

Very nice fruit characteristics along with a milder more accesible Geueze base. very nice introduction beer for the non Lambicaphile.

Deep gold with lots of carbonation. Surprisingly restrained nose for a Cantillon. Sour lemons and vinegar with hay and some vineous notes. The taste is a mouthpuckering sour vinegar and limes at first. As you keep drinking, you get hints of some dry champagne. Then a grassy hay character. Nice if you like lambics that are more dry than sour.

Consumed at Cantillon brewery. This golden lambic ale pours with an off-white head that dissipates quickly. Since the bottle we were served was younger than the commercial version, the flavor was sweeter than with other bottles I have had, and there was far less carbonation. Still, it was more tart and better balance than most other lambics.
