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.

Deep vinous aroma, purple colour. Tart, fruity. Some tannins, not much for bugs, actually. Solid.

From tap at Muted Horn 10.05.26 after the IAEA conference in Jena. Cloudy golden straw colour. White head and lacing. Excellent aroma and taste of brett, acid cider and a hint of apricot. The apricot becomes more evident as the beer warms up. Acid and astringent aftertaste. Refreshing!

Draft at De Hoppenaar. Color: Purplish red, small pink head. Aroma: Rasppberry mainly. Taste: Fruity blend of raspberry and blueberry. Hints of vanilla, making the blend a bit more sweetish. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium body, below average carbonation. Moderate tartness, light sweetness. Very light bitterness. Nice.

Bottle purchased at Monk's in honour of brother's anniversary: pours light orange with nice head. Aroma is peppercorn, flowers, lemon verbana, light funk. Taste is peppery, lightly sour. Tingly. Great aftertaste. This had a very unique taste and I was there for it.

Vom Fass (2025) im Muted Horn Berlin 2026-05 getrunken. Auch dieser Jahrgang ist wieder echter Spaß im Glas. Die deutliche Aprikosen Noten strömen einfach großartig aus dem Glas. Die Säure ist present aber sehr gut balanciert und bleibt so eher im Hintergrund. Ein tolles Lambic mit wundervoller Harmonie!

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2021-08 getrunken. Dieses gelbe Lambik hat ein wunderbares Aprikosen-Aroma. Am Gaumen ist Körper, Säure und Fruchtaromen perfekt abgestimmt. Tolles Bier!

750ml @ Phill's.
Aroma: very nice mix of cognac barrel and funk, a built fruity with some sweetness.
Taste: along the same lines, surprisingly acetic.
Overall: good.
