Technical Details

Tasting Profile

4.2Untappd

Cantillon Nath (2024) pours a hazy pale golden-straw with a wispy, quickly dissipating white head and fine persistent carbonation that continues to rise in the glass minutes after pouring. The nose opens with an immediately recognizable tartness underpinned by fresh rhubarb stalks, lemon zest, delicate elderflower, a touch of earthy barnyard funk, and the subtle mustiness characteristic of wild Brussels fermentation. On the palate, the mouthfeel is light to medium-bodied with a crisp, sprightly effervescence that delivers a lively frothiness before yielding to a notably dry finish. Sweetness is kept to a minimum — this is a beer of tension and acidity rather than fruit-forward sweetness.

The rhubarb character asserts itself with punchy herbaceous and citrus-adjacent notes, while the base lambic contributes Brettanomyces earthiness, faint white wine vinousness, and a pleasantly tannic dryness. The finish is long, clean, and drying, with lingering lemon, rhubarb, and a mineral edge that rewards contemplative sipping. As a rotating seasonal release from one of Belgium’s most celebrated spontaneous fermentation breweries, Nath rewards both immediate enjoyment and short-term cellaring of 2–5 years.

Food Pairing

Cantillon Nath 2024 lambic pairs beautifully with fresh goat cheese or aged chèvre on sourdough — the tartness of the rhubarb maceration cuts through the richness and amplifies the mineral creaminess of the cheese. For a second pairing, serve alongside a classic Belgian-style waterzooi with white fish: the beer’s crisp acidity and earthy funk complement the delicate broth, while its dry, tannic finish cleanses the palate between bites.
