Bottle at the source. Blonde, slightly hazy beer with a quite lasting white head. Funky grapes, a bright citrus bite, some gooseberries, white currants. Quite dry and sweet at the same time. Softly vinous, like a spritzy natural wine. Elegant.

07-12-19 // 750ml bottle shared at the brewery with C. Unclear golden. White lacing. Dry funky nose. Quite sweet. But so soft and very well balanced. Not very sharp sour. Wine yes but soft.

2 years old lambic aged on Chenin Blanc grapes from Olivier Lemasson for 3 months. A: usual white grape lambic look from Cantillon. Small white head. S: smell is very reminiscent of Vigneronne, very driven by the lambic taste with a fruity twist on the aftertaste. T:Taste follows but more focused on the wine. It's on the dry side, more reminiscent of Riesling or Pinot Gris to me than Loire Valley white wine. The grape probably needs a little bit of time to shine out. M: very dry with a soft carbonation. Easy drinking. O: another nice grape experiment from Cantillon. I find white grape lambic to be a little bit less spectacular than black grapes one but this beer is a very good example of the style.
