B. Had a fresh side by side with a 9 year aged version. I liked the fresh best, more like a cherry pie flavor. Aged version was less cherry and more barnyard.

Pink beer. Nose of honey and cherry. Taste has the Belgian, barnyard spiciness. Sharp flavor, smooth finish.

Very cherry and lambic. A bit calmer due to cask condition

hands down, the best fruit lambic I have ever had - quoted just before the taste and on many occasions I have said, "Fruit lambics that I have had tend to just downplay the sourness in favour of sweetened fruit notes. So don't fuck with my lambic and just leave it tart... but, of course, I have yet to have had a Cantillon fruit lambic, so that may change my mind," and indeed it has! Wow! Vinegary tart nose with some decent fresh cherry notes and just a hint of hay. The taste starts just faintly wheaty-sweet for just the briefest of moments before one is blasted by an intensely acidic cherry tartness that puckers all who touch it to tongue, and the long-lasting, intense linger only allows this sourness to grow for a lengthy moment afterwards. There is sufficient carbonation to spread this feel, but it isn't the most intensely carbonated lambic ever. Just another marvel of Cantillon brewing! Cantillon has shown me that when well-done, one is free to 'fuck with my lambic.'

To style, but very sour. Pin cherry. Intense.
