May 2, 2006 Golden-orange color with a medium sized white head. Acidic, lemon aroma with notes of green apples and some light hops. Mild tartness, some green apples and hay with a hoppy finish. Dry and refreshing. Interesting take on the style.

Apr 11, 2006 Cuvee du 89 at Het Bier Circus. Well-balanced, and fairly hoppy for a gueze. Strong citrus flavors. Not as tart as some, but farily typical for the type.

Apr 4, 2006 Cuvee du 89 - Bottled 2004 - Golden body with big full white head that lasts quite long; Beautiful nose, complex and fresh, it lacks a bit of depth though. Loads of citrus, fresh green apples, hay, leather, horseshit, wood, along with very clear notes of dried hop; Very light body, quite sour, medium carbonation, a little watery, this turns into fresh and sour finish which is a bit short (the aroma of the finish is short, but the sour and tart part stays long), quite tart, again fresh green apple but mostly dried hop together with lemon, oak in the late finish. I think this one lacks complexity and power to be a true winner. Some raters find this dry hopping in the cask a fantastic idea, I really don’t!

Mar 21, 2006 Hazy yellow with a medium, tight head. Dry, neutral and acidic aroma with apricots and pectine(?). Not as dry/sour as most Cantillons. Fruity, acidic flavor. Medium-bodied, acidic, easily drinkable palate with medium carbonation. A typical, maybe somewhat "easy" Cantillon.

Mar 11, 2006 (At Akkurat, Stockholm, Mar 10) Pale amber colour, with almost no head. Complex, earthy, sour nose with hints of old socks (yes, very nice!). Taste is well balanced: sour, mature, earthy, musty with hints of citrus (tangerine, mandarine). Some fresh hops as well. Very nice!

Mar 10, 2006 I’m struck by the richness of the aroma: quite complex for a lambic: yeasty, musty and cellar-like, and very fruity (strawberry). Hints of wheat and strawberries are also in the very tart flavor. I’m not sure what exactly this beer has on other lambics, but I find that its slightly more pleasant than usual. It’s making me crave some stinky cheese, however.

Mar 10, 2006 Perfectly clear golden, with a lot more carbonation than I’m used to seeing in Cantillon brews - a slightly grassy hop character in the aroma, along with the expected, cheesy, musty, barnyard smells - a unique sourness in this one; it’s almost tangy - quite dry - white wine character in abundance - a sour-apple, cider-like quality as well - background brett/cheesiness - quite nice stuff.

Mar 8, 2006 Golden colour with a white head. Barnyard and hoppy aroma. Flavor is sour and fruity with some hints of hops. A little bitter aftertaste.
