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.

The sourer the beer, the gooder the beer, I say. So, I love any Cantillon offering - and though this beer isn’t grandly sour, it does the trick. Appearance-wise, this is peach-juice colored ambrosia. It smells of fruit, funk, and tartness. The real pleasure of this beer, or any other sour, is the way the beer tickles the back of the tongue, gently, but persuasively, imploring the drinker to have another drink.

Draught at Malt and VIne. Beautiful soft rose color. Nicely balanced dry and sour. Wonderful hint of muscat, earthy, leather, with little fruit. More complex and wonderfully sour as it warms in the tulip. A real treat I will hope to enjoy again.

Oh boy. Smells like apple vinegar and a bit of clover honey. Clear still dirty gold. Quickly tart, fades to maybe a little peach skin. Finishes clean and dry, almost like nothing at all. Seems fresh or immature.

750 ml bottle shared by furiousdman. Thanks Derek! Nose is light horseblanket tartness, white wine notes, and old oak. Hazy yellow orange with a small white head. Flavor is nicely tart with minor funk and pepperiness.

Oh my my my, sign me up again and again for this one. Pours a transparent light blonde and flat. Aroma: tart, boozy peaches/mullberries, reminds me of my childhood and our family orchard that grows white lady peaches around late August. It’s almost like a beer version of when my mom dunks a chunk of our white lady peaches into a class of white wine/champagne and lets it soak until the end. The flavor mimics the aroma but I mostly just want to shove my nose in this for a solid hour and leave it at that because the aroma alone has captured me.

[750ml] Hazy golden color, with some very interesting foam-- almost chunky. Aroma is very typical Cantillon, providing plenty of funkiness. Flavors blend mellow acidity with nice fruit ester presence. Complex finish.. I agree with other raters, this definitely has a slight nutty, earthy quality.

Pours out hazy gold with little bubbles. Smells fruity and funky. Taste is fruity lightly sour. The flavor of white grape and the Cantillon funk is great. Some wood and sour notes are present. Nice smooth mellow lambic. Very good.
