My first real lambic (this is hardly a fruit lambic). Really unpleasant beer. Aroma is bacon, horseblanket, and must. Mouthpuckeringly sour, which is cool with me, but ridiculously musty. I don’t like my beers tasting like pork products. Really gross.

Oct 4, 2008 Pours cloudy yellow in glass with a head that fizzles away. Aroma is tart with some stank of barnyard funk. Slight woody undertones in the aroma but not very noticable. Not as tart as I experienced from other Cantillon selections. Light on the palate very drinkable and refreshing. Can get the grapes in the finish. Finished clean without an overwhelming dryness, the tart flavor washes away making you want more. Well done.

Sep 30, 2008 Version from 2005. Pours a cloudy summer-grain-yellow with a light white head. The aroma is like a stack of wet hay and with sourly pomelos and vanilla. The palate is very smooth and with a taste of green unmature green grapes. - Theres no sharp bitterness but a bitterness nore in the sweet end. The finish is long and slow with a nice fading sourness with a sparklin palate.

Sep 27, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a cloudy straw gold with no head. Aroma is lacking grapes, nice tartness, musty, sweet, gueuze-ish aroma. Light, slightly sour, fairly tart, grape makes itself known toward the end. Just a little dry. Leaves a nice sweet coating when you lick your lips.
