Yesterday. Always a treat but prefer it a few years older.
Bottle. Thanks to Seth for sharing this one. Yellow pour with a white head. Funk and lemon zest bouquet. Loads of funk, muted lemon zest, and barrel highlights. Wet hay and straw backbeats. Good body and mouthfeel.
EB from a few weekends ago. Perfect acidity, cheesy hops and prominent funk. Absolutely delicious!
Wonderfully tart, quite dry, and a nice crispness. Another fantastic one from Cantillon, never seen this one before.
2019 bottle shared at Jimmy's farewell party. Pours a clearish honey gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Musty hay, horseblanket, and notes of dried honey all present on the noses. Palate is similar with light notes of pear, herbs and stonefruit. Drying on the finish with acidity held in check. Very nice.
Tap at blb. Pours a cloudy blonde, relatively big white head ( very big for a Lambic, which makes scence because of the extra hops.). Scent is typical cantillon fink. Very grassy, herbal, vegetal fresh grass and twigs like hops. Taste is full, medium intense sourness, with a bit of a bite by the bitterness in the back. Hops are relatively gentle, which is obviously very intense for a lambic though. Like the scent, they express a grassy, twig, herbal note. Still very decent beerw but still not my favorite cantillon.
