Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2021-08 getrunken. Dieses helle, weißweinfarbende Sour Ale kommt mit einer deutliche Fruchtsäure daher. Am Gaumen ist die Säure recht deutlich und das Fruchtaroma eher undiffinierbar. Nicht schlecht aber Cantillon macht bessere Frucht Lambiks. Prost!
Had at Akkurat, Stockholm from tap. Cantillon always perform well no matter if it's on tap or bottle. Easy drinkin' Lambic. Slight carbonation. Pure golden perfection.
Pours a clear, deep rose coloration with a small, fizzy head that rapidly fades away and slightly visible carbonation. Smells of light doughy malt and a distinct rhubarb aroma, as well es some estery fruit notes of apple and apricot, with just a hint of funk and oak. Taste is a great balance of light doughy malt, a distinct tart rhubarb presence, some estery fruit, with notes of green apple, apricot and gooseberry, as well as just the merest hint of earthy funk and oak, with a good underlying acidity. Finishes with a medium acidity and some rhubarb and light funk lingering in the aftertaste. Effervescent mouthfeel with a medium body and medium/strong carbonation.
This is a Lambic that is very much in the same vein as Fou Foune, meaning that the focus is very much on its vibrant fruitiness rather than a deep complexity or rich funk. Which is fine, of course, although it's not quite as expressive as Fou Foune, being only 3 months older. Then again, I really think that Fruit Lambic like this should ideally be enjoyed as fresh as possible to really enjoy the fruitiness to its full extent. There still is a very nice, tart rhubarb presence to this, which is complemented by some fruity esters and a good, medium lactic/citric acidity that borders on being just a touch too intense though, while the funk and oak really are minimal, really more of some fleeting accents that fight a losing battle against the acidity. Overall, a quite enjoyable Fruit Lambic with distinct fruity, tart and acidic notes, but little funk or complexity, while its aroma and mouthfeel are both sublime. Really something that's more suited to the summertime than winter, much like Fou' Foune. (Vintage 2020, 6 months old)
24-OCT-2020, draft @1420, with Ulkløbben.
Cloudy golden with a slight pink hue, and a lasting, white head.
Huge brett, huge fruit. Lots of sour rhubarb. Creamy, full, soft carbonation. Some tartness, not a lot. Really tasty and great.
Fat @Mikkeller Viktoriagade. 2018. Gyllenorange öl med ett lätt vitt skum. Doft av frukt, syrlighet och stall. Smak av rabarber, krusbär och en bär- citrus-, och fruktsyrlighet. .
A small taste from a friend (bottle) @ Stadin Panimobaari. Pours cloudy orange with a low head. Aroma is sour malts. Flavor is sour malts with some fresh rhubarb. Nice.
Butelka 0,75 litra rozlana w ramach panelu na Zwanze Day 2020 w Browariat w Katowicach. Rocznik 2020.
They don’t disappoint, really wonderful lambic sourness. Touch of fruit, but perfectly balanced. Still better than anyone else. Omnipollos Hamburg
2019 version, bottle says 5.5%ABV. Stunning rosy amber with a white head that never disappears. Aroma is woody with rhubarb which seems a bit green at first then is fruitier (and seems baked rather than stewed). Underneath is old lemon, the laundry, vanilla. A sip reveals the full breadth of rhubarb - rich and jammy, floral and almost rosy, astringent, a little of that weird metallic bitterness. Moderately sour and slightly slippery. Dry and oaky at the end. Evocative - doesn't knock you out with the "fruit"; invites you in. Lovely beer.

Sour citrus fruits, lemon and lime juice, light acidity, soft carb, med bodied. Nice aroma. Draft at Moor Beer Co Vaults & Tap Room, London.

12 January 2020. At In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst. Shared with the lovely Anke! Thanks to the random tourist group for giving a sample.
Hazy ochre, very thin, frothy, off-white head. Complex aroma of rhubarb, lemon, plum compote, pepper, straw, wet grass. Taste has sweetish plum, apple, earthy & herbal rhubarb, straw & pepper. Woody, dry finish, old hops, white wine & rhubarb. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Unusual Lambic, complex & refreshing.
Dark golden with a white head - Tart wood aroma - Tart wood flavour with some fruity hints - The tart wood flavour goes into a long finish - This was good
Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of funk, brett, lemons, and wood. The flavor is sour with notes of wood, funk, brett, and lemons, leading to a tart finish.

Bottle@Lars - Pours golden orange with a white head. Tart fruity with prominent notes of rhubarb, tart fruity, medium body, light tartness, some floral and herbal accents, tart fruity lingering finish.
Restrained funky aroma in a golden pour. Similarly laid back tart flavor balance is both subtle and complex - and made even better by the machinations required to create it this year.

Restrained funky aroma in a golden pour. Similarly laid back tart flavor balance is both subtle and complex. One of my favourite Cantillon fruit additions for sure.

Bottle 2018 shared by Todd. Wow. Pours a bright orange hue with a large white head. A big rotting garbage pungent nose. Woody. Sharp, big sour strawberries, sweeter berries, tart grapes, woody. Super drinkable. Great. Tannic, sharp sourness and rich sweet fruit.
20 Agosto 2018. From tercertiempocervezas. 2017 version. 75cl. In Teku glass. Playing Avernum 4. Didnt notice nothing special from the rubharb, just a well adjusted sourness that is affordable but fails to impress, specially given its high price tag. Avg 3.27 17 Dic 2019. Version de 2018. De tercertiempocervezas. En copa Teku. Compartida con Carlos, con pistacho. Recibiendo Hecatombe Sloths. Acidez bastante suave y asequible a cualquier paladar. Agradable pero sin nada que justifique su alto precio. La fruta (ruibarbo) no la noto
