From a jug at the brewery, batch from Winter 2007/2008 sampled in October 2008. Pours orange, almost clear with almost no carbonation and no head. Malty and spiced aroma. Flat and light citric initial flavoured. Mild bitter and spiced too, didn’t have any sweetness to it. I dont really understand the hype for this unfinished product.

2 years old draught at the GBBF 2007. Yellow with a small white head. Grapefruit, lemon aroma, obvious cantillon character. Tart and acidy, lemonjuice flavour, clean finish.
Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2009: I note some oak and hops, as well as a hint of solvents in the aroma. Touch of hops in the flavour too, and not too acidic.

Draught Slight transparant rim over ochre beer with a slight mossy shine. Peach, or other fruit (raspberry?), horseblanket, lemon, wood. Also some banana ester. Really dry (beer is a bit over 1 year, which is relatively young "old lambic"), which is remarkable. Lemon, lemonrind, dry as bones, or as chewing wood. Relatively light-bodied lambic, which is another proof that the fermentation is far gone. Cantillon has very busy beasts. Nice lambic.
