Cantillon Gueuze (Classic/Organic/Bio)

Brewed by Cantillon
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Brussels, Belgium

15oz bottle. A pretty hardcore gueze. The nose hits you immediately. Barnyard animals, socks, apple, cheese and vanilla. Pours a well carbonated hazy yellow. Taste is well pretty damn sour up front, tart sour apples and lemons, definite hay, no balsamic and the acidity is not as high as some other lambics. This is a very bretty beer. Finshes incredibly dry. Terrific palate cleanser in between big beers like stouts or barley wines. Amazing as always from them.

First ever Lambic, and upon opening the bottle and pouring I was greeted with a wild, yeasty smell with a sour apple aroma filtering into my nostrils. Tasted very sour and dry, everyone else I tried it with hated it but I found it very interesting. No sweetness at all - very sharp in the mouth, tingling my tongue leaving a crisp finish. Sourness varied from mouthful to mouthful - in one I had a hint of parmizan actually. I expect this to be nice with a good cheese. A wild, untamed, but very nice and unique beer

On tap at White Horse Tavern. Golden body. Sour and sour nose and taste. Not my thing at all. Tasted apples, sugar and SOUR.

Bottle at Bishops Arms.Golden colour with thin head.Aroma of citrus and sour apples,feels refreshing even with a strong sour taste a bit like champagne.Nice beer.

330ml cork : you get sour acidity through air like a cobra being hypnotized by a flute player from a basket . Its hardcore smells...really raw and intense. Brett,granny smith apples and horse shit are also in the smells. Its a dull orange with ,small white head. Tart,TART -TART flavours. Sour,with rotten cheese-green apple & lots of dryness. A subtle sweetnes backdrop. This is hardcore & really good fun if you like Lambics.

2007 bottle. Cloudy, golden pour. I could smell the funk as I poured. Dank smell of wet hay, citrus, and lots of sour citrus. Flavor is extremely sour and wonderful. Some hay in there. My mouth waters. Awesome, delicious beer.

Poured slightly cloudy golden, with a light head and lively carbonation. The aroma was fruity, citrusy with some horse. Taste was mostly horse, with a little fruitiness and slightly sour, almost no hops. Quite complex and interesting.
