Nov 13, 2009 From the Bottle at the GBBF, Earl’s Court 06/08/2009 (Thanks to Mes for this gem!)
Some sour aroma. Golden coloured hazy in appearance and a little sour. Smooth on the palate with a little dryness in a lasting finish.

Nov 10, 2009 (bottle, thanks Tyler and Levi!) Pours a hazy light orange with a white head that retains well. Aromas of manure, hay, rubber, must, and funky cheese. Not as pronounced or pungent as I would’ve expected. Flavor is equally low-key for Cantillon with some peach skins, lemon peel, salt, and funky cheese. Mouthfeel is medium and carbonation is lively. For me this was underwhelming, as I really enjoy the sharp tartness of gueuze, but I’m sure this will most likely achieve that acidity with a few more years on it.

Nov 9, 2009 POured a hazy yellow. Nose is extremely tart, lactic sourness, sour fruits, unripe berries, big funk, wet earth. Flavor is a sharp sour, grape skins, old wine. Perfect sour beer.

Nov 4, 2009 Bottle shared by the ever generous Jan and Charlotte (cheers you two) at Borefts Beer Festival, De Molen Brewery, Bodegraven, Netherlands 30-10-09 This pours light amber with a white rim for a head. Wonderful soft lemon, its like cooked preserved Moroccan lemons that I use in cooking from time to time, soft acidity, sourness is much blunter and therefore much more appealing to me than some of the Cantillon beers, its just bloody lovely nuff said really.

Nov 1, 2009 Bottle at the Tower of Sour Power etc. Cloudy hazy golden pour, nose is strong with tartness and dry funk, flavor is just as pungent with intense sourness, very very good, finishes clean and dry. Loved it.

Nov 1, 2009 Cloudy yellow with an off white head. Manure aroma, sour, funky as hell, lemon, and stoney minerals. Flavor is sour and fruity with wet hay, earthy notes, light lemon and finishes dry. Very very nice.

Oct 31, 2009 [Bottle] Pours slightly hazy gold with a medium eggshell head. Aroma of horse manure, lots of funk, lots of lactic character, yogurt. Flavor has the wine barrel evident and well balanced.
Solid tartness, super dry, wine barrel is awesome, gravelly, huge funk, creamy mouthfeel, bitter grapefruit peel. I hope to be able to try this again in a few years, as it still has some residual sweetness that will turn into some killer acidity once the bugs can chew through it. Thanks again Jesper!
