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.

Pours a hazy gold with a small heavy white head. Aromas of lambics and fruits. Flavors are sour and mild, fruity and abricot. This has almost no carbonation and is easy and pleasant to drink.

Bottle@Cantillon, Brussels. Cloudy golden with a nice egg white head. Aromas of grapes, pear, a bit musty and some wood. Taste is mild, fruity, bread and some sourness. Very smooth and easy drinkable Cantillon.

Bottle dated 24 December 2008. Too bad the commercial description is not on the bottle...I don’t like my Cantillon’s to be "mellow". Pours with a small white head that fades over a murky or hazed golden straw body. Aroma is funky and grassy with straw, a bit of buttery, wine with its oaky sweetness and sour grapes. Taste is cork, sweet grape, funk, vanilla barrel and some breadiness. Boring from what I normally expect from this brewery. Water like mouthfeel. Light bubbles.

Bottle. Wine, grapes and yeast in aroma. Unclear orangeyellow colour with very small white head. Sour with very bitter aftertaste. Plenty of grapes. Prickling.

Bottle. Poured thick white foamy head that subsided fast but left a nice white crown atop a slightly turbid gold body. Aroma was a nice hit of very tart yeast, subtly sulfuric, slight hints of apple, obvious white grape sweetness, cantaloupe, hints of earthy (most likely oak) barrel; wonderful. Flavor was earnestly tart, again the white grapes came through but not overpoweringly, light vinegar, champagne, then it suddenly deviates to a mellow citrus, nectar, not quite ripe peach, almost cantaloupe rind, earthy and woody abound toward the finish. Palate was generously carbonated, crisp, and refreshingly light - beyond anything budweiser could ever imagine. Certainly one of the best beers I’ve ever had.

(bottle, 2007) pours a lightly hazy golden colour with a fluffy white head. aroma of citrus fruits, barnyard skunk and sweet, sugared musty grapes. flavour is dominantly citric, with light notes of balsamic vinegar and sweet bread. medium bodied and generously carbonated with a crisp, sour finish. an excellent summer quencher!

bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a decent half inch of foamy white head. Superb nose... light fruity sweetness with a relatively minor amount of funky tartness. Flavor improves on a solid aroma- funk comes more to the front, blending with the tamed apple and grape sweetness. Sourness is solid but easy- sharp tartness on the front, with some lingering light sourness throughout. Superb flavor. Palate is even and full, with some light lingering funk.
