Cantillon Grenache Blanc (2022) Bowman

Bit of a gusher this time, filling the kitchen with a lovely Brettanomyces perfume. Daughter came in soon after and petulantly asked me if I was eating cheese.

Nath Bowman

Mini vertical 2020-2023. 2023 - 3.75 Really fruity, lacking carbonation. 2022 - 4.0 Solid 2021 - 4.25 Favorite of the bunch, excellent carbonation and nicely balanced. 2020 - 4.0 Best carbonation, but the fruit has faded a lot.

Fou' Foune (2020) Bowman

Fruit has fallen off quite a bit, but it’s still perfectly carbonated. I reckon I’ll finish off my last few bottles of this asap - it’s not getting any better.

120 Minute Ipa (2022) Bowman

Hard to describe. To me it’s an OTT boozy, syrupy, oxidised IPA. Interesting to try, but I wouldn’t get it again.

Rose De Gambrinus (2023) Bowman

100th unique Cantillon check-in! 🥳 Reasonably balanced acidity and less funk compared to some bottles I’ve tried previously. Wouldn’t mind a bit more fruit concentration. This’ll go down easy this Summer. 06.03.23 bottling.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2019) (+25% 4 Year Lambic) Bowman

Recently discovered I have a couple of these particular bottles in my cellar. The description is inaccurate however, as they were purchased retail and not part of a pack. Definitely has some 50N/Brabantiae vibes, yet very little carbonation.

Mamouche (2022) Bowman

The Zwanze Poivre des Gorilles blended with this Mamouche brings quite noticeable pepper to both the nose and taste of this fantastic beer, completely transforming it into something quite unique and absolutely delicious.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio (2022) Bowman

9 Mar 22 bottling. Nice creamy carbonation, surprisingly mild acidity (probably because I can barely taste the cherries). Normally a bottle this fresh would be bursting with jammy goodness. Sadly, this isn’t the case here.

50°N - 4°E (Batch 7 - 2020) Bowman

I think this is actually the eight bottle I’ve tried from the two 2020 batches. Can’t say I really notice any difference between them. Could definitely use more carbonation.
