UPDATED: JAN 11, 2022 2018 bottle shared by a friend on 12/11/21 during my annual Christmas Movie Marathon. Pours clear gold with a thick white head. Aroma of malt, peppery funk and light fruit. Malty and funky flavor with rhubarb accents before a peppery and sour finish.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2021 Bottle sample at a tasting at Porter&Sons, Tel Aviv. Slightly hazy golden with white head. The aroma has notes of rhubarb, spices, earthy, tea, wood, vinegar, herbs, funk. The flavor is sour and mild bitter with notes of rhubarb, herbs, earthy, lemon, vinegar, wood. Dry, medium-bodied.

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2021 Bottle at a tasting, @Porter&Sons. 750ml. 2021ed. Hazy yellow. Aroma is funky, floral, notes of citrus and hay. Sour, rhubarb, funk, barnyard, lemon, wood, green fruits, herbs. Medium-bodied, dry. Great.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2021 From tap at Bierproeflokaal In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, on the way to Zanzibar 22.10.21. Clear golden. Diminishing white head. Superb lambic aroma and taste. Complex, and the touch of rhubarb is very subtle. Very quaffable.

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2021 2021 vintage. Tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Bruxelles, Belgium. Offered by the guys here. Pours light amber, medium transparent, with very fine white foam. Aroma is strong, intense of wild yeasts, fruity, citrus too. Body is average, with moderate carbonation and good astringency. Taste is markedly acidic/sour. Final is on the short side.

UPDATED: OCT 1, 2021 Kwaśne, wytrawne, wyborne. Rabarbardzo. Z tych odważniejszych Cantillonów z pierwszego szeregu.

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2021 Rhubarb, malt, horse blanket, and grass aroma - glorious. Cloudy golden yellow with moderate white head. Mildly sweet rhubarb, malt, moderate sour vinegar and Brett, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Excellent body and balance. Great.

UPDATED: SEP 6, 2021 Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2021-08 getrunken. Dieses helle, weißweinfarbende Sour Ale kommt mit einer deutliche Fruchtsäure daher. Am Gaumen ist die Säure recht deutlich und das Fruchtaroma eher undiffinierbar. Nicht schlecht aber Cantillon macht bessere Frucht Lambiks. Prost!

UPDATED: AUG 7, 2021 Had at Akkurat, Stockholm from tap. Cantillon always perform well no matter if it's on tap or bottle. Easy drinkin' Lambic. Slight carbonation. Pure golden perfection.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2020 Pours a clear, deep rose coloration with a small, fizzy head that rapidly fades away and slightly visible carbonation. Smells of light doughy malt and a distinct rhubarb aroma, as well es some estery fruit notes of apple and apricot, with just a hint of funk and oak. Taste is a great balance of light doughy malt, a distinct tart rhubarb presence, some estery fruit, with notes of green apple, apricot and gooseberry, as well as just the merest hint of earthy funk and oak, with a good underlying acidity. Finishes with a medium acidity and some rhubarb and light funk lingering in the aftertaste. Effervescent mouthfeel with a medium body and medium/strong carbonation. This is a Lambic that is very much in the same vein as Fou Foune, meaning that the focus is very much on its vibrant fruitiness rather than a deep complexity or rich funk. Which is fine, of course, although it's not quite as expressive as Fou Foune, being only 3 months older. Then again, I really think that Fruit Lambic like this should ideally be enjoyed as fresh as possible to really enjoy the fruitiness to its full extent. There still is a very nice, tart rhubarb presence to this, which is complemented by some fruity esters and a good, medium lactic/citric acidity that borders on being just a touch too intense though, while the funk and oak really are minimal, really more of some fleeting accents that fight a losing battle against the acidity. Overall, a quite enjoyable Fruit Lambic with distinct fruity, tart and acidic notes, but little funk or complexity, while its aroma and mouthfeel are both sublime. Really something that's more suited to the summertime than winter, much like Fou' Foune. (Vintage 2020, 6 months old)
