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.

Bottle 2004 750ml. Pours a hazy bronze pale golden body with a white thin lacing. Citric and lactic acid, hints of wood and tart lemon and grapes. Tart and sour and very enjoyable.

Pour from the bottle gave a nice golden color with a white head. Aromas of sourness and fruit. Very tart and medium on your tongue. Flavors of oak, grapes, and yeast. Very tasty dry finish. Good beer for sure.

Hazy yellow color with fizzy white head. Funky flavors, leather, hay, tart apple, fruit, lemon, and hints of wood. Quite dry and sour. Not as much fruit in this one.

Bottle. Pours a hazy straw color with a small and quickly-dissipating white head. Aroma is largely sour, with slight oak notes, apple, and green grape. Taste was a shock, as it starts very sour and "funky" with brett notes, dissolving into a tart, woody finish that also has the oily slipperiness of grapes and wine. Palate is smooth, and the finish is more dry than I anticipated. I love funk, and I love Cantillon lambics - this one was a winner for me.

Bottle. 2007. Pours a hazy golden color with very little head. Sour aroma, with a hint of wood and green grapes. Taste was much of a suprise considering this was my first ’true’ Lambic. Starts VERY sour, then progresses into a hint of wood and white wine. Ends with a lasting sour bite. Will take more tastings to aquire a taste. But overall not bad.

Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Dark straw color, sparse off-white head. Sharp lactic funk, lighter grape notes, fruity background. Real sour start, then white grape, then a real sharp punch of sour. The fruit comes out a bit, but it’s mostly a show of the classic Cantillon sourness.

(Draught) Dark golden colored with little white head. Sweet peach in fruity and sour aroma, slight spices and sugar also present. Medium bodied, smooth palated. Flavor has same peach here, aftertaste turns to sour and carbonated with some hints of dry white wine.

Draft at Publican. Hazy golden pour. Slighty funky and sour aroma. Yeast, wood, and light grapes. Soft flavor, with a sharp citrus finish. Microscopic bubbles. A really well balanced and approachable lambic.
