Bottle at the End of All Tastings. Pours a hazy orange gold with no head. The aroma is green apple, rubber, funk, wood. Slick body, funky, straw, wood, very little grape flavor more apple skin, very nice.

Another ridiculous bottle shared by Marc at the LCBS 10. Wow, this is one sour lady. Aromas of barn, hay, and horse blanket. The taste was outrageously sour and bitter with grape and peach flavors.....

2005 750mL bottle, white, handwritten label, from the ever-generous Hildigoltur, fka Jacob Lovenlund, shared on 8/13/16.
Still amazed how well the carbonation is retained in these older lambics. While there’s little retention, it still pours a sizeable, white head. Deep, amber-tinted, bronze body shows good clarity.
A bit more oak, and acetic-lactic character in the nose, than Spuyten, but remarkably similar with a good homogenity of acids, moderate funk (cellar, earth, mild barnyard, yogurt) and easygoing fruitiness. A bit more intensity with an almost sour cherry-like sweet/sour element (B. Lambicus?). No alcohol or flaw.
The light sweetness that develops in older lambics is here present but is easily matched by a strong citric character (that I think is actually just wood plus lactic acid). Much stronger acidity than Spuyten, reminding even moreso of Classic Gueuze from this era. The wine character is noteable, being nicely intertwined with the sweetness to produce an almost riesling-like sweetness with the sourness even replicating the acidity of a riesling (though of course, these are chardonnay barrels). Do not get any wine-derived minerality, however.
As the beer progresses, the acidity and oak build, bringing lip-smacking tartness and retronasal acidburn, quite pleasantly. Low but engaging carbonation still tickles the palate, as well.
Very cool to try. These old Cantillons are so different than the old 3F’s...

Bottled (thanks a million to Sir Lövenlund). Goldeny amber colour with a small white head. Aroma is wood, some tartness, wooden barrels and rather pleasantly sour. Flavour is tart wood, some mild notes of earthy and floral notes. Big dry and tart wooden notes in the finish. Really pleasant. Very mouthdrying.

Thanks a million Jacob. Hazy orange with a small off white head. Aroma had lacto, barnyard, wood, leather, grapefruit and paches. Flavor was quite sour with plenty of lacto, wood, leather, barnyard, grapefruits, lemons and peach. Finished sour.

75 cL bottle, courtesy Lövenlund. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and classic Cantillon horseblanket and barnyard. Acidic and mild citric. Smooth fruity too. Shivering dry and acidic into a smooth fruity finish. Lasting dry and mellow acidic.

Bottle, RBESG 2007 in Glasgow, "pre-tasting". Hazy golden to orange colour, no head. Complex aroma of white wine, fermenting apples and farmhouse. Very sour flavour, white wine vinegar, sour apples.

Bottle. Acidic aroma. Cloudy golden colour, almost no head. Acidic, dryish flavour. Not watery, but somehow lacking something I cannot quite put my finger on.
