Tap. PastaMadre, Brussels. Light haze on a deep, cherry red. Thin, dense, pink head stays the course. Nose has earthy stone fruit. Red and black berry, a type that I can’t put my finger on. Some cherry in there. Chamois leather. Whiff of savoury smoke. Taste is tart and dry. Some distinct earthy, berry bitterness. Soft carbonation. Moderate acidity. Tart and earthy finish. Odd, but good.

On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Sangue di piccione, appena torbida, schiuma bianca medio-leggera, poco persistente. Al naso note di frutta rossa, vinoso, leggero acetico, sentori affumicati, di pelle, cantina. In bocca è succosa, fruttata, leggermente affumicata, astringente. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Non particolarmente raffinata.

Tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels, 13th November 19. This is fantastic, looks beautiful on the glass, a dirty red colour, aroma is berry fruit, light balsamic, funk, taste is great complex flavours, musty fruit, sweet , sour and funky. So delicious and drinkable.

New Cantillon fruit lambic made with aronia berries or ‘chokeberries’, a kind of North American wild berries, though in this case – with berries having grown in Italy apparently – it is more likely that the fruit of X Sorbaronia mitschurinii was used, a cultivated shrub hybridized with real Aronia and developed in Russia around 1900. This fruit is largely unknown in western Europe so in that sense this is at least a very original new fruit lambic – not the first by Cantillon, of course (think of the cloudberries in Soleil de Minuit, for example). From tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, thanks Craftmember for sharing. Mousy, medium thick, opening but stable, pale off-pinkish head on a hazy ruby red beer with fuchsia tinge. Aroma of sweet grape juice and ripe red apples, strong balsamic vinegar aspect, stewed rhubarb, soaking wet wood, lime juice, cranberries, beetroot, sweet tomatoes, cooked raspberries. Crisp, dry onset, berry skin astringency mixed with a red grape-, cranberry- and somewhat apple-like berry fructose as well as the lambic’s natural esters, softish carb, smooth mouthfeel (even a tad creamy), bready ‘soil’ deeply soaked in berry juice, sweet and sour with minerally notes, a sweaty-earthy Brett aspect and a subtle woodiness. Distinct with that balsamico-like odour being clearly ‘different’ from any other Cantillon I ever had, but at the same time a very accessible, juicy, sweetish young fruit lambic that drinks very easily.
