You can't go wrong with a 5 year old Cantillon bottle on a beautiful Thursday evening in Chicago. This beer is absolutely stunning to me. So unique. I was a little reticent because a flower didn't sound so great in a beer, but it's amazing. It works perfectly with the funk of the beer. I love the dry finish. Worth seeking out.

Look: golden yellow with a thin white head
Aroma: elder flowers, apricot, grapefruit maybe.
Flavor: The flavor is fruity sweet like apricot, slightly floral elder flowers, and a complex moderate tartness like lemon and white grapes, soft, thirst quenching easy drinking that goes perfect with spicy food.
Body/Overall: light to medium body, a bit prickly, easy drinking, incredibly thirst quenching

Lambic with elderflowers of a unique elegance.
Immediately elderflowers delicate on the nose.
Aged for a year, drunk on tap.
Brettanomyces well distinguishable but it does not confer a very astringent sour.
One of my favorites of Cantillon for balance, taste (the elderflower is already released on the nose and with delicacy it seems almost just infused in lambic), elegance and ability to accompany food (white fish, delicate risottos, smoked scamorza cheese etc.)
