Bottle @ pikkulintu. Finally got to try this! Pours golden color with a lasting white head. Green, crisp apples, tartness. Amazing aroma. Flavor has green apples, tartness, apple seed, and in the finish you get more fresh apple juice notes. Huge beer, still in excellent condition.

’06 vintage shared at Olutravintola Pikkulintu. Cloudy yellow pour with a white head. Beautiful barnyard and funk aromas. Sour and acidic with just the right amount of funk and wet hay notes. Complex with a great mouthfeel, good carbonation, and body. Another stunner from Cantillon....

375ml bottle @ Pikkulintu, Helsinki Pours orange with a small foamy head. Aroma has notes of fruits, spices and slightly hops. Nice, fruity, smooth and not as sour as many other gueuzes. Slightly bitter and hoppy finish. Well balanced, great lambic. Re-rated on 23.11.2012 @ Pikkulintu. 2006 vintage. This bottle has some mild farmyard notes, which fit in quite nicely with the slight funky tartness. Nice smooth and tart palate. Still as good as before. Re-rated on 2.9.2023. Funky and musty, quite smooth and not aggressively sour, hints of muted fruitiness and grassy notes. Nicely aged.

Bottle at Pikkulintu in July 2011. Hazy golden with a minimal head. Typical tart aroma of Cantillon. Very nice and tart taste but also refreshing with green apples, hay and wood. 10 EUR for a bottle of 37,5 cl is a very good price.
