| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 31, 2009 I don’t think, without setting it next to regular Cantillons, that I could distinguish it or pick out much by way of distinctive qualities--but Cantillon must be regarded as the master of the gueuze, because this is deadly lovely. Bottle shared at RBSG 2009 grand tasting. AgentSteve (1378), SF Bay Area, California, USA

Not as sharp or vivid in the aroma as I exxpected. Very pleasantly grassy with a good amount of citrus and funk. Fairly sour but not as much as most other Cantillons. This is ridiculously well-balanced. Lemongrass and sour oranges. Very clean and bright, so good. Definitely the best geuze I’ve had, damn! Madsnp (627), Odense C, Denmark

This golden lambic poured from a basket with a lovely off-white head and a strong fruit aroma. There is a very delicate grape-like flavor that is just the right amount of tart, and some enhancing oak characteristics. This one is lip-smacking good. bhensonb (4359), Woodland, California, USA

Pours golden amber with a decent off-white head. Very mild sour/funk over pale stone fruit for aromas. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is moderate funk, with a little apricot, and some slight vinosity. Finishes smooth, mildly funky, barely sour and delicious. And Oaky.

Cloudy golden color; thin persistent head. Wonderful aroma, dusty cellar, rubber, lemon zest; creamy. Very good how it wraps the mouth, aggressive from the beginning, astringent and sour, full, with curaçao oranges. The final is very dry. Complex and very balanced, excellent.
