From Lambic.info : "This bottling and its label is based off of Cantina Giardino's Drogone Wine and is the second time that the brewery and the winery have worked together on a blend. Prior to being blended with the lambic, the grapes went through a 3 month pellicular maceration in chestnut wood barrels. "

Picked up a 750 ml bottle at Mejiro Tanakaya during my Japan trip in October/November 2023, thanks to thebrewsader for the heads up! Bottled December 22, 2022. Cork Date Season 22/23.

Poured into a tulip. Initial pour is clear reddish/amber with quick fading fizzy off-white head. Slightly hazy further into the bottle. Aroma has red wine, funk, light vinegar, dark fruit, oak. Taste includes red wine, dark fruits, berries, funk and vinegar. Light body. Great lambic.

750ml (thx, Ronald R.!). After MBCC 2025 spontaneous session for beered out people.
Funky, grapes. Tannic, a lot of grapes, quite acidic and dry. Interesting, but I would prefer it to be less astringent and aggressive.

2022 bottle shared at the source. Erosen almas, kicsi koromlakklemoso is van sajnos, nemi cider-jellege van osszessegeben. A szolo visszafogott, alig savas, kisse funky. Csalodas osszessegeben, az egyik leggyengebb Canti amihez eddig szerencsem volt.

Bottle pour at the RB DC sendoff meetup. Poured a clear red color, kind of ruddy red. Aroma was subtle berries, delicate fruits. Light grape, red wine. Light sour. Really nice. Light acidic character.

(Bottle, Cantillon Brewery, Brussels, 18 Oct 2024) Pale red colour, leaning towards pale amber, with brief head. Fruity nose with red grapes, red-currant, oak wood, barnyard and a touch of silage. Fruity, tart taste with notes of red grapes, red-currant, oak wood, barnyard (more barnyard and less grapes than in the Lambic d'Aunis sampled at the same time) and a dry and tart finish. Low bitterness. Rich and complex, with a fresh acidity. Lovely beer!
