The aroma is powerful acidic, sweet and slightly sour. The color is an unclear orange and it has no head. The flavor is very sour, a bit acidic, prickling but at the same time flat. It ends on a acidic dryness with no metallic notes as other gueuzes. An OK gueuze - without being great.

(Bottle 75 cl) Version simply labeled "Lambic 100%". Pours a lovely, orangey golden with a slight haze - no head. Almost flat. Very sharp, acidic nose. Notes of iron and the typical Cantillon vinegar approach that pretty much kills your buds. This is very traditional hardcore stuff. 280601

37.5 cL bottle. Pours unfiltered orange with a quickly disappearing crispy head. Aroma is fruity sour to acidic. Flavour is vinegar dry, slight sweetness too. Dry finish. Tasted decent, but I admit that this is a vaste on me, I don’t really understand to appreciate this one.

Bottle. Acidic, farty, earthy aroma. Unclear golden colour, very small white head. Acidic, vinegary flavour with a hint of bitterness. Aftertaste is tanninlike, but not that bitter with a soft, lingering acidity. Soft carbonation.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, foamy white head. Bitter apricot and apple aroma. Bitter apricot flavour with very bitter finish. Second gueuze for me, and a really nice one.
