"I was once told back in the 60s that nothing could make a man pucker up like a shapely woman. That man must have been talking about the shapely woman on the Gambrinus bottle because this is one sour lambic. Pinkish Orange in colour, musty smell, and sour raspberries will make a great pucker!"

[3] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/26/2008 10:38:10 PM)
"This will be my first product from Cantillon and I am rather excited about it. Bottled: 2007. Aroma is full of tartness as well as sourness with some farmhouse funk and some Brett with some sweetness and fruity esters and is vinious with alot of raspberry coming through. Appearance is a deep, pinkish to red in color when held to the light with a medium-sized head on top that is light-pink in color and diminishes to a light lacing that coats the glass very nicely. Mouthfeel is light-bodied and spritzy with a unique complexity as well as balance with a palate that is crisp and clean and rather dry-like but very good. Flavor is extremely tart and sour and similar to a Flemish sour and has an aftertaste that is full of Brett and tons of funk and tannins with a finish that is dusty as well as acidic with even some very faint oak. Overall, what a "sensory overload" beer this is and is very challenging to drink even for the most seasoned aficionado and I absoultely love this brew for sure and would recommend it to only veterans of beer reviewing and tasting.

[4] Review by cyrenaica from Milton, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (5/23/2008 8:42:09 PM)
"375ml corked bottle
5.0% ABV
Bottled February 18, 2008
I tried this beer on May 23, 2008 at "The Beer Bistro" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a cloudy pinkish red with a thin white head. The aroma was musty with some hints of raspberry. The mouthfeel was thin, and very champagny. The flavour was primarily sour raspberries, very dry, and delicious. Very expensive, yet worth it."

[5] Review by Vac from San Diego, California, USA who has tried this beer many times. (3/31/2007 3:47:03 PM)
"This is one of those beers that I’ve had a bunch of times have always loved it, but, for some reason never rated it. Finally I remembered to actually do it this time. It pours with a cloudy rose body topped by a light head with some lacing left behind. It’s tart and sour as expected with nice fruity notes and that great Cantillon funk. Light bodied, crisp and dry."
