Lambic D'Aunis 2020 S

This is ridiculously good. Jammy and sweet, funky and layered, notable black pepper spice, maybe some cinnamon, on the finish. Crazy complex beer. Maybe the best grape lambic I’ve ever had. Love this.

Framboise Boon (2015) S

Cellar beer. Really jammy, a bit syrupy. Not as much funk as I’d expect. This one didn’t age all that well but still good.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio (2021) S

Probably the freshest I’ve had a Cantillon kriek. Four months in the bottle. Color is glowing ruby. Taste is all sweet cherries, just a hint of spice. Very soft funk.

Rosé de Gambrinus (2021) S

This is fucking đŸ”„ fresh. So much rich berry flavor, the color is nuts, glowing ruby. Perfect mouthfeel and carb. Fresh RdG > aged RdG every time.

Cuvée Saint-Gilloise (Champions) (2019) S

Strong lemony acid notes. Cheesy funk. Really smooth, rich mouthfeel. Poured a glass and let it sit for like 10 mins, head was exactly the same as when I poured it.

Kriek Boon (2016) S

Some nice black cherry flavors but it’s a bit syrupy. None of the funk or complexity you’d expect from lambic.

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio (2020) S

One of my fav beers on the planet. Big juicy cherry, allspice and light acidity and funk. 🍒

Rosé de Gambrinus (2020) S

Bright raspberry, puckering lactic acidity. Young, not as complex as it’ll get, light funk, but the fruit is front and center.

Magic Lambic (2020) S

Awesome. Had last year’s version on draft a couple of times, and I don’t remember the vanilla coming through as strongly as it does here. Raspberry and vanilla are dominant but there’s just a bit of blueberry too. Lightly funky with a tart berry acidity

Fou' Foune (2020) S

Oi. This is awesome. Most fresh I’ve ever had Fou. Bottled late August. Waves of juicy stone fruit, bright apricot-skin acidity. Soft Brussels funk. Direct from the source, a la their Autumn Pack. Slow poured in new Cantillon “magnifico” glass.

Hitting the cellar tonight. đŸ‡ș🇾 2014 vintage. This is great. Depth of Brett in this is impressive. Funky, tart and tangy. Hint of brine. Pale malt really sets this apart from other Cantillon lambic.

Mamouche (2020) S

Herbal and slightly briney, Brussels funk. Green apple and elderflower. Goes still quickly, herbal flavors pop as it warms.

Brabantiae (2018) S

Wow, the port barrels really pop on this. Literally smells as much like port wine as lambic. Sweet wine notes and briney Brussels funk. Fruity and mildly acidic. Decanted for 30 mins. So good.

CuvĂ©e de l’EspĂ©rance S

Guided tasting with Jean Van Roy. This is great already. Soft acidity, fruity and complex for a beer so young. Clear hints of cognac in the smell and just a bit in the taste. Decanted for 30 mins. “Like a mix of GCB and 50N” (not direct quote).

Classic Gueuze 2019 S

Nom. Tart, tangy and briny Brussels funk. Sweet Granny Smith Apple. A bit of bitterness on the finish. Fizzy, champagne-like carb. Edges are a bit sharp, it’s young, but still awesome.

50 Degrees N - 4 Degrees E (2015) S

Digging into the cellar for birthday beers. Delicious. Briny, tangy Brussels funk. Distinct cognac smell. Less noticeable in the taste but it’s there. Smooth, layered complexity of an aged lambic. Lots going on but no sharp edges. Enjoyed at cellar temp.
