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 conditioned from Pitfield Beer Shop, London. 750ml. Fairly sour, with a little dryness but also a fair amount of sweetness. White wine notes, grapes, slightly acidic. Very nice.

Tasted this with some friends, and it was a love it or hate it beer. Nobody was neutral on this one. I fell solidly into the "love it" camp. Dark Gold, small head. Smelled of Oak and wine. It was initially sour, of course, and all of those familiar farmyard tastes an smells hit you all at once. Hay and dust, and dry white wine. Finishes extremely dry. Very quenching.

dutch ratebeer lambic-meeting. Aroma of oak and grapes and typical Gueuze tartness. Hazy, orange-yellow coloured with no head. Fruity (grapes, citrus/orange), oak, and very, very tart (Be aware of what you drink!), winey. Very dry palate. Perhaps I will rate this beer higher without the enjoyment of 10 other lambics before this one.

Bottled. Apricotty orange colour, no head. Cantillonish sourness in aroma with weak hints of grape. Sourness and grape on flavour. (7 2 7 3 11).

Bottled. Hazy orange colour with almost non-existant head. Aroma is sour wood, with vanilla and some whitewineish notes. Flavour is much the same along with some sour berries added. Excellently balanced. 8 3 8 5 16.

Aroma: formidable, sourish, vinous, brett. Summery, nettles, acrid soap, hay or reed... cask, citrusy.
Appearance: grotesque, mango yellow, cloudy with some white, quicklyfading head.
Flavour: sourish, very fresh, soft, unusually beery, wheat, grapes, some milkyness, acrid bitterness back on the tongue. Slightly of golden grapefruit.
Palate: very soft, milky, lovely, thin...

Another winner by Cantillon. Aroma was nice and fruity. Sour white grapes with a hint of funk and wet blanket. Pour was a nice sparkly and bubbly light gold with a 2 finger white head. Looked like champagne. Taste was nice and tart in the front, with the sweet grapes just barely coming through. Medium acidity and little funk. Delicious and refreshing sour beer.

Cantillon Friday Night Tasting Session, Providence RI
Pours a golden colour with a small white head. Nose is muted but apparencies of barnyard, fruits, and cider. Initial taste is mouth shockingly sour with other fruits lingering. Slight mustiness with apples & grapes in the background. Finishing dry and average palate duration. Medium body. Definitely very sour but I can drink many 750’s of this no problem..
