Had on tap at Moeder Lambic. Pour is a peachy yellow, mostly transparent with a thin off white head. The nose has a touch of lemon with a nice dusty funk to it, cob webbs and light leather, more lemon with some golden fruits faintly weaved in at the end. The taste is extremely dusty and funky, very old bookshelf. There is some tart lemon that comes in as peaches, golden fruits and some floral bitter hops present themselves behind in order. The body is light, very gentle, soft carbonation and rather dry in the finish. Funky is the focus, age may add some fruit as this is probably a newer oude lambic.

had this at a tour of the brewery in June 2022, but forgot to rate it. Very enjoyable, although my friend who did the tour with me said it was the worst thing he had ever tasted... ymmv.

From an amphora, this is clear copper with a thin, white head. The nose is soft and lemony with a mild, mushroom note, candy cap like with a touch of honey and mild floral notes. The palate opens moderately sour with a preserved lemon and rotting like like note. A little slick on the palate , with a pedio like feel, smooth and soft. Softly carbonated. Such a clear expression of the Cantillon house character.
