| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Tried at PP bottle shop. I think Ryan brought it. Thanks! Cloudy yellow color. Medium lasting, white foamy head. Nice medium sourness. Classic funky Cantillon nose. Mellowed as if aged for some time. Very easy to drink. Very good.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Bottle at PP Carlsbad. Cloudy light orange hue, modest layer of sustaining white head. Nose is full of sweet tartness, light fruits, hints of Bret funk, amazing. Flavor is also solid with tart lactic acid up front with a transition to light fruits, Belgian yeast and Bret in the middle, finishes om the sweet side. Light-med body, medium carbonation, thin texture. A top-line sour with a great acetic-lactic balance, good supporting malts and esters, delicious!! DJMonarch (6845), Northwich, Cheshire, England

Some sour aroma. Golden coloured hazy in appearance and a little sour. Smooth on the palate with a little dryness in a lasting finish. Guerde (702), Welcome, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | 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. Fin (3415), Merton, Oxfordshire, England
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | 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.

Loved it.
