Brasserie Cantillon Racine (2021)
Fruit Lambic 7 º
A sophisticated collaboration between Cantillon and Radikon, Racine marries two-year-old Lambic with the aromatic pomace of Chardonnay, Tokay, and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. This pale gold ale captures a striking vinous profile, blending the elegant minerality of white wine with the rustic, barnyard funk of spontaneous fermentation. Bright aromas of lemon zest, damp hay, and white flowers precede a palate defined by sharp lactic acidity and complex fermented fruit notes. The inclusion of grape skins introduces a refined tannic structure that balances the sourness, leading into a bone-dry, effervescent finish characterized by earthy oak and a lingering green grape skin essence.
Appearance. Pale gold to light amber (5–7 SRM). Generally clear with high effervescence; produces a white, mousse-like head with moderate retention that leaves fine lacing.
Aroma. High intensity and profoundly vinous. Dominated by white grape character—green apple, melon, and floral Sauvignon Blanc notes—intertwined with complex wild yeast aromatics including horse blanket, aged leather, and dusty cellar. A sharp, lemony acidic punch is complemented by subtle oak and aged hop cheesiness.
Taste. Initial impression is sharply acidic and refreshing. Flavors of dry white wine, mineral-heavy Chardonnay, and grassy Sauvignon Blanc are prominent, layered over a light, crackery malt base. The wild fermentation provides a deep, funk-forward complexity. Bitterness is negligible; the balance is firmly towards tartness. Finish is bone-dry, crisp, and puckering with a lingering wood-aged character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a lively, sparkling carbonation. Notable tart, puckering sensation without being overly harsh. A light tannic astringency from the grape pomace provides a structured mouthfeel. Minimal alcohol warmth at 7% ABV.
