Hazy yellow colour with a white head. Malty, fruity and yeasty aroma with notes of flowers and dust. Malty, tart fruity flavor with citric yeasty notes.

Pours hazy orange-yellow with no head. Aroma, like the taste, is pretty standard: citrus, yeast, hay, sourness. Nice dry finish. Not an altogether outstading beer.

750 mL bottle. Pours dark yellow color with some tiny white bubbles, no head. Aroma is sour, lemonjuice, acidic, barnyard... pretty typical lambic. Nice. Before I go into the flavor, I have to admit that I have a cold so my senses aren’t functioning normally. I have to rate what I’m tasting though, so... Flavor is more mild than anticipated, given the strong aroma. Slightly sour and acidic-tasting. Smooth palate, very dry finish. Good, but not great. I like a stronger flavor with a little more of a sour character.

750ml bottled on 22Aug06. Pours like apple juice. No carbonation on this one though some clear fat bubbles form from the pour but disappear quite quickly. Light foam makes swirls on the top. Aroma is cidery, brett, lemon, green apple. Tart. Aroma improves with warming. Taste is similar. Acidity and sourness are quite subdued and tolerable. Soft on the palate. Interesting beer though I kind of miss carbonation in my lambics.

Originally received a 4 from me on 1/12/04. "Basic" funkiness with sour, tart, and stink. Not as overwhelming as others I’ve tried. Barnyard character. Sour lemons. Sadly, minimal carbonation.

75 cL bottle, thanks to Thomas_E. Pours hazy yellow with a little lacing head. Slight classic geuze aroma but more mellow and with a slight peppery note. Quite citric to acidic flavour, dry and fruity.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Thomas_E. Slightly hazy, pale golden with a small, white head. There’s a vague, tart Brett nose. Medium body - well, perhaps even a little watery, only moderately sour although you do indeed sense the usual Brett and horse blanket characteristics. Quite OK, but not as complex as blended Gueuzes. 280907

Bottle. [Courtesy of Thomas_E, quality tasting @ Papsoe] Real unblended stuff, expecting some raw Lambic, but was surprised over its sophisticated and soft complex bouquet. Spare fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Cloudy orange like color. Aroma was of course the well know Cantillon and as I perceive it with notes of perfume, barnyard, leather. Underlying wheat, caramel and fresh apple and sour berries. Medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Moderated sour notes with good counter sweetness. Sour finish. 28-09-2007
