Tap. Pours clear yellow, still. Aromas of citrus, floral, green overripe grapes, light funk. Taste is peachy, sweet oaky, light buttery sweetness, lightly tannic, subtle funky and lightly vinegary. Amazing lambic!

Sampled thnx to eugene pours bit unclear blonde. Smell is full, funky, bit buttery, woody ( very woody ) reminds of white wine, somehow. Taste is tart, typical cantillon funk ( very steongly so ) a wine like ( white wine ) touch as well. Very, very oaky. Doughy. Not bad.

Taster. Pours clear golden. Aroma is grapes, dust, a bit metallic, funk. Body is medium, strongly funky and bitter, with a decent body, flat. Rather low on flavours, pretty dry palate. Good, but far from outstanding. Nose works better than mouth.

(On tap @ Moeder Fontainas, Apr 30/18) Pours a rather hazy pale orange with a tiny loose white head. Notes of balanced citrus mix, some slightly bitter zest and tart juice, soft grape fruitiness, rather substantial and slightly mulchy barnyard, moderate wood, cheesy undertones, tobacco leaves, leather, tannic fruit skins, herbal hoppy finish. Balance is light tart and rather dry with increasing dryness in the finish. Moderately long aftertaste. Light to medium bodied and oily with very low carbonation. Fantastic oude lambic, feels supremely balanced across the sip and the barrels used add a delicate vinous quality.

Draft @ ML Fontainas, pre-Quintessence day. Dorée sur léger trouble, pas de col juste qcq traces blanches. Arôme de funk assez classique de Cantillon, pointe de fruité, raisin, léger sucre résiduel, note peu d'influence de la barrique ou cépage. Palais garde les lignes classiques de lambic Cantillon, funk, sec en bouche sur une petite note fleuri, léger fruité, possible influence du vin? effervescence est faible avec un léger effet tannique plus doux sur la fin. Correcte mais pas la meilleure réussite.

Sampled draft @ CML Fontainas. Golden, hazy. Massive funk, barnyard, oak, grape is bit drowned out in the funk, bit too plastic, strange plastic funk takes it a bit down, hay, not optimal, peculiar funk, less grape. Good in general but not top for Cantillon.

Before the day: Cantillon & Pizza Party! Typically one of those beers that would never score this high in a blind tasting…

Golden with a small white head. Fruity aroma with sweet grapes, grapefruit and wood. Sweetish and tart fruity flavour with grapes, oak and tannin.
