I like Cantillon a lot, but this is not my favorite of their products. Perhaps it was just too young ... the typical, sharply acidic aromas ... hazy light orange. A nice flavor, but again, a bit young seeming and a bit too wheaty. A nice, spritzy palate still makes this rather refreshing. A nice product indeed.

Clowdy orange in colour with a sour nose, With a sharp spicy sourness, suspect its good at what it aimed at just didnt hit the spot for me

Cuvee de Monks. Philly Craft Beer Festival. Small plastic sample cup. Cloudy straw orange. Sour lemon and barnyard. Tart lemon juice and peel. Light carb, medium light body. It’s got the Cantillon bones but give me some more meat.

Bottle. Hazy orange with almost no head. Aroma is sour, fruity with lemon and grass. Flavour is sour and citrusy with grapefruit and grassy hops and a dry finish. Very long sour aftertaste. A classic gueuze.

Bottle. Hazy applejujice orangy colour with a short head. Sharp aroma of cherries and oak, which becomes very sout the more you smell to it. Flavour is very sour with citrus and sour apple, little burned wood with intens sour lemon and grape fruit, which turns in to a sharp dryness. Long sour aftertaste. For a pure lambic this kicks butt!!!!

(Draught) Dark yellow colored, big white head, which seems rather weird in lambic. Aroma is complex with strong sourness, fruits and lemon, good aroma indeed. Medium bodied. Flavor is also nicely sour with crispy palate and fruits, even some caramel there. Finely balanced and enjoyable, at least when served as this cold.

Bottle, 37,5 cl. Hazy orange colour with a small white head. Nose is funky with a moderate aroma of sour fruits. Acidic fruity flavour. Well balanced and very drinkable beer!

Organic Gueuze at $16 per bottle. I LOVE lambics but this is not a good value at $16 a bottle for fancy carbonated, lemon-grapefruit juice! Citrus aroma. Light golden color. Head non-existant. Nice to taste to say that I did but I would not go out of my way for another. (I’ll stick to the fruited lambics).
