Description
Open the door of the 56 rue Gheude.
Cantillon ? That’s the time machine. You’ll leave the modern civilization, goodbye to the noise, goodbye to the world.
"But where are we ?", you will ask yourself.
Well, you are in a family brewery where Lambic, Gueuze, Faro and Kriek are made and where nothing has changed since 1900 when it was founded. The Van Roy-Cantillon family welcomes you and invites you to discover a fabulous world. Beers, tools and brewing process are still the same as in the beginning.
Red copper containers, barrels, some of them more than 100 years old, and walls of bottles constitute the scenery for your visit.
Maybe you’ll be lucky to see the brewing or the bottling, maybe you ’ll see how barrels are cleaned or how fruit beers are made in summer. Maybe you’ll be lucky to see the brewing or the bottling, maybe you ’ll see how barrels are cleaned or how fruit beers are made in summer.
Anyway, you’ll be able to taste a real traditional Gueuze-Lambic and if you would like to know more about the Kriek or the Framboise, just ask the brewer.

Hazy, dullish pale. Bubbly head. The muscat brings some sweetness to an otherwise barrelly lambic. Palate shows the same. Complex, woody lambic with a sweet muscat overlay. A bit of straw but the base is balanced, not a ton of funk. A bit of brett c and mix of bugs though.

Disig rød med lys rosa skum. Lukter bær. Syrlig og intens smak av syrlige bær. Kjenner bringebær i avslutningen.

Bottle at home. Clear golden. Very nice mix between lbic and the pepper which has almost a basilicum like aroma. A bit ropey mouthfeel and look.

Bottle enjoyed at Schloss Von Bishop. Clear golden pour with a white head. Cork blew out big time. Copious amounts of apple cider vinegar wafting from the bottle. Hints of apricot in the background. . It’s a sour bomb with loads of acidity. Taste is overwhelmingly apple sifter vinegar and stone fruits. The expected barrel, and vinous notes are nowhere to be found. It’s tasty but a bit unbalanced and lacking depth and structure. Perhaps a few years in the bottle will help. Side note, it did the tartness and acidity did mellow after some time in the glass. Also, the stone fruit and apricot notes started to come through more.

0.75l bottle from Base Camp, shared with the Ravenfest VIP crowd. hazy golden body, thick off-white head. Pepper dominates the lovely citrusy, somewhat funky aroma. The taste continues along those lines - herbal, bretty, pepper notes, juicy, light tartness, bitterish finish. Good stuff bordering on great stuff, as expected!

Funky, tart and vinous with some hints of oak, blueberry juice, sourness and earthiness. Rum notes are quite subtle, but pretty sour and acidic finish. Gz Jonne L.
