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.

Very full body out of the bottle. Sour, sweet, wood, and tart flavors seem to swirl together at start, taste and finish. This is a very difficult beer to describe, must be tasted!

Bottled. Hazy amber colour, not much head. Aroma is red grapes and sourness. Slightly barnyardish also. Flavour is strong and dry hay, nuts and grapes. Well done. Grapes and slight hayish notes in aftertaste.

Bottled (0,75 l, bottle 2042, 2004 vintage). I had this one while tbone_ was resting at the red boat, still there was some left for him (and Ronny) and some other people that happened to sit by the table while I was alone. Okay, so off for the rating. Cherryish red colour, not much head. Aroma is sour grapes, almost red wineish. Flavour is super dry and supersour, and some pleasant hints of grapes. Also some wooden hints. Totally superb thing! But was quite hard to drink one bottle yourself... I guess that was what the bartender meant when he asked how many glasses and I said one "Congratulations" was the answer...

Bottled vintage 2005 @Akkurat. Cherry red color, not much head. Sour red grape and barnyard aroma. Acidy, fruity, very barnyardish and very red wine like flavor. Bonedry. Long sour aftertaste.

Bottled at RBESG-06, GTN. Hazy, golden beer with some white bubbles around the rim. Sour aroma with apples and not much else. Nice though. Apples, lemon and sourness in the flavor. Thin body. A bit boring, but good. (060826)

2017 rating, on tap as St-Gilloise. Hazy amber, thick head. Has a nice floral, arboric hop nose with the usual leathery brett. On the palate, there's a decent bitterness, nice leather, just a touch of sweetness and some tartness in the finish.

Original 2006 rating: Lemon, leather, wood, cork, bamboo, lots of manure...driving through farm country. Tart, corky, apple skin notes, hints of leather. Good gueuze, fairly approachable. 8-4-8-4-17

bottle - Pours red with a thin, fading head and effervescent carbonation. It smells mainly of sour raspberries. The body is medium with a good sour, fruity taste without being overwhelmingly sour. It has a light finish. The lambic funk is most noticeable in the finish.

1979 bottle from The Kulminator. Reddish brown colour with thin white head. Yeasty, raspberry aroma. Odd sharp fruit on end. A little harsh, but it has stood up to the test of time amazingly well.Earlier Rating: 7/31/2006 Total Score: 3.2375ml bottle. Clear reddish pink with thin pink head. Sour aroma with some red fruits, but mostly sour lemons. Oh man, this is just way too sour. There is some residual sweetness from the fruit. I would prefer some more depth. Sweetness on end is pretty nice. It really isn?t that pleasant to drink and I don?t find it interesting enough. Back to the Boon and De Cam I guess.3.8 on tap at Struise shop Brugge. Unbelievably good. So fruity and creamy and balanced. Delicious
