Aug 21, 2009 0.75 l bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Hazy deep golden color. Sour, grapefruity and lemony aroma with vanilla. Very acidic and sharp lemony, grapefruity and peppery flavor. Oily slightly oaky mouthfeel. Excellent! Oily palate and oaky finish give Cantillon gueuze an extra dimension.

Aug 20, 2009 Cloudy orange with a lasting white head. Funky leather and grapefruit aroma, but with complex nutty wood notes and rather distinct cognac notes. Tart and complex acidic flavour with sweetish cognac notes. One of the smoothest and most pleasant Cantillons I have had.

Aug 16, 2009 Bottle thanks to xnoxhatex at the First Annual Chicago Sour Tasting. Pours a light hazed orange with a thin white head. Sour grapes, earthy, fruity funky aromas that are full and inviting. Tart acidic fruit flavors that have a slight earthiness. Tangerines, oranges, and oak with touches of sherry, dark fruit and bitter oranges. Complex fruits, malts and oak that are really enjoyable. The oakiness is very well balanced. Excellent.

Aug 10, 2009 Bottle @ Spuyten Duyvil Brett Fest 09. 300th Rating! Although this bottle was a bit steep I am glad i got a chance to drink this. Wish it was a little cooler, they should have put these bottles in the fridges the night before, however i won’t take that out on this rating. Golden pour with little head. Flavor and aroma take after the gueuze: tart, slightly sweet although very balanced. Oak and cognac are apparent but take a back seat. Nice brew.

Jul 30, 2009 750ml bottle at Moeder Lambic, Bruxelles. Pours hazy amber with a medium creamy head. Some lacings. Really nice looking. Aroma is sour and a bit acidic. Hints of barrel. Taste is some tart and some very light sweetness. Some barrel also. Texture is liquory. There is also a light spicy bite on the back of the tongue. Among the most complex gueuze I’ve had. Well balanced. Last glass was paired with a goat cheese they serve at Moeder. The dryness of the cheese was a great companion to the gueuze. Awesome brew. Awesome bar !

Jul 21, 2009 Bottle thanks to Andrew via trade for the same beer which I originally got in Belgium. Tasted during the First Annual Chicago Sour Tasting. Hazy golden amber with small, creamy white head. Aroma is stinky, funky, lots of barnyard and some sour. Flavor is wood, funk, slight barrel, grapey really well balanced. Medium to light body with slightly active carbonation. Fantastic, well balanced, one of the most straight forward geuzes so far.
