’02 vintage bottle consumed at One Pint. Clear pale yellow pour with a faint white head. Sour red currant aromas overwhelm the old nostrils. WOW, this is one tart, sour monster and definitely the most sour Cantillon I have ever tasted. The red currant is so acidic and tart it almost has a salty characteristic to it. In some ways reminds me of sour patch kids. A very interesting lambic that I’m really honored to have a chance to try. It’s my understanding that over the years the red currant is becoming more pronounced.

375ml bottle @ One Pint Pub, Helsinki
2002 vintage! - Pours light orange with a smooth head. Aroma of sour berries, redcurrant, malts and earthy notes. Taste is extremely sour with a lot of berries, redcurrant and fruits. Finish is again quite sour with some malty and fruity notes. Quite extraordinary and extreme lambic.

(Bottle, 2002 vintage, at One Pint Pub, Helsinki, on 2009-01-03 -- shared with mto, thanks) Orange and hazy. Small white head. Fruity and sour nose. Medium bodied, dry and acidy palate with medium carbonation. After a moment the palate turned in to similar feeling I get after eating redcurrants. Sourness, acidiness, fruitiness, berry flavours and some bitterness in quite complex taste. Fruitiness and sourness in aftertaste.

Botled at One Pint Pub, Helsinki. Pale orange, almost clear. Lemony acidic nose. The fresh red currant flavour adds just a whiff of flavour to te trademark lemony Cantillon acidic lambic. Citric acidity is the dominant feature. The lovely intense complexity of the lambic is dominant, the red currant is a compiment.

Bottled (2002). Hazy orange colour, with hints more to the reddish orange. Small white head. Aroma is sour typical cantillonish lambic, but the redcurrant bring a certain sweetness to it. Same goes for the flavour. One of the "easier-to-drink" Cantillons, due to the small sweetness brought from the berries.

375mL bottle brewed in 2002 and consumed on 12/22/2005 among the very enjoyable company of Rastacouere and Siroy. Thanks to Juha (bogdi1) for his always generous trades and this most rare of treats.
Typical cantillon gueuze pour with some age on it yields a hazy goldenrod and straw colored yellow, with perhaps a light tint of copper? Head is white and moderate to full at first, but quickly begins its descent to a light covering and eventually a ring, while light lacing is left behind. The aroma begins sulphury, quite barnyardy, but yet light and soothing with an old, musty, bretty perfuminess to it, coupled with the usual sun-baked leather tannins and sour lacto/pedio suggestions. The redcurrant, not surprisingly, does not emerge, (or at least, I can not detect it, in the nose). Taking my first sip, I find myself (at first) disappointed that I can find the red currant neither in the flavor. Just a strong dose of your typical Cantillon gueuze flavors, farmy, funky, quite cheesy and moderately acidic, wtih a quenching sourness. BUT, to my extreme delight, the red currant readily makes its way out on the finish, growing very tart, as if chewing on the very skins of the red currants. Ever so subtley done, almost so well done, that you wonder if Mr. Van Roy could have possibly controlled it this well to his liking (implying that much of it was luck). Whatever the case, you get a brilliantly aged, fully yeasty and complex cantillon gueuze up front, followed by a tart, fruity, crisp and lightly acidic red currant flavor that is elegant and understated. The lambic is of course fully attenuated, while the carbonation firm and tight, yet softened by time somewhat, so as to offer a gentleness that a younger gueuze would not have. Very noble and wise old lambic.

Beautiful rosy colour with a peach to light foxy shine; good pinkish fine head, fast receding. Delicate fruit nose, fresh fruit, tannins and inevitable (and welcome) horseblanket. Soft, sour taste with a very surprising flavour, reminiscent of (green) sweet pepper peel or sweet pepper mash (coulis de poivrons (verts)). Finishes typical redcurrant, which flavour gradually enforces itself finally. Very dry finish, getting ultra-dry at the end. Outspoken dry-out effect. Superb realisation, in the line of the Soleil de Minuit, and even more the Buckthorn lambic. Great one, Olli!
