Jan 10, 2006 Updated: Jun 25, 20082000 bottle, with the cork saying bottled in 2001. Very dry grapes, wet horse and some crotch when i havnt showered for a while make for a very different and intresting aroma. Taste is very complex with similar flavours and lemon, and this is possibly the sourest beer iv ever tasted it is seriously seriously sour, with quite a bit of bittering hops too i must add.
Very different beer, very good beer.....RERATE: Had this at ronnie’s and another in the cellar. I never realised the amazingness of the hops in this, it adds so much more to the lambic, the piney citrus and fresh flowers are all subtle but still there and alround add amazingness to the beer. up fromn 3.8 - 4.8RERATE: Bottle in the house at the bass party. Awsome, on the sweeter side of the cantillons, the floural citrus lychee character of the hops justr gives it soo much more. An amazing beer and one that you could session til it comes out yir tits.

Mar 28, 2009 Updated: Apr 10, 2009750ml 2005 vintage drank in late March of 2009. Wowsers. The aroma on this one is perfect, stanky brett-wheat funk dreaminess. Deep orange color, not all the way opaque though. Foamy head. Classic lemony wheat crushes your taste buds. Wow, no wheat in this one? Achieves supreme sour and funkiness nonetheless. This beer is phenomenal, no trace of old age, holds up perfectly. Hyper bitter, full on Lambic.

Jun 29, 2006 Updated: Jul 13, 2006750 mL bottle, capped & corked (2002 on the cork, sampled late June 2006): promising cork removal…in my eyes: pure gold, slight haze, under a generous (large for a gueuze) off white head that maintains it form even as the bubbles pop and leave small holes. Beautiful bretty, grassy, and iron laced aroma…bits of fresh pine, stone and lemon grass float on the early morning breeze of a brisk, damp, spring day. Wonderfully tingly palate, dry and sour through the finish. The tart, acidic flavours blend nicely with the hop flower remnants, sweet (though slightly bitter) orange juice, and lemon rinds. THIS is why I drink beer…C’est Bon, Indeed!

This is a masterpiece. Massive creamy head. Gleaming amber body. Resiny sheen and dense white beauty. Nose: Signature Cantillon sourness, although with a tinge of piney hop bitterness. Quite a lovely flowery effect. Mint and dill. Only a slightly crumbled dusty character pushes through. The horseblanket brett competes with hoppy resin and the overt sourness. Flavors: Tart apple and rich sweet malt. The flossy sweetness of the malts really shows through on this one. Incredible to taste a gueuze that is as syrupy sweet as this one is. Orange rind and pine trees. The dry hoppiing is magnificent . The sourness of the gueuze and the hoppy bitterness really combine to create a minty flavor that is refreshing. Carbonation is excellent as is the mouthfeel. Very resiny and slimy. Thick and coating like cough syrup. This is a MASTERFUL outing. Exquisite.

Jul 21, 2006 Updated: Jul 22, 200675 cl bottle, 2003. My cork was also wet... Papaya flesh coloured, fine but dense haze. Torn apart, moderately lacy head. Aroma: vinegar, vinous, grain, wood, nectarines. Sour - but not overwhelmingly - , fruity and dry taste, which flows over dry, sharp hints of wood into a long, yet drier sensation of hops. What an aperitif! But, it shouldn’t be called ’lambic’, given the fact it’s brewed without wheat.

Jun 27, 2002 Updated: Jul 13, 2006Aroma has hops, oak, yoghurt, honey, mango and apple. Full bodied beer, almost thick. Not too sour taste in which I detected hops, yoghurt, citrus, oak, pineapple, pinetree and mango. In fact too much to describe. Amazingly complex lambic beer. With every sip you discover more tastes and aromas. One of the great beers of this world!
2000-version, tasted 12.07.06: dark golden color, clear. Lasting creamy head. Flowery and earthy hops and grapefruit in the aroma. Grapefruit flavor with a deep earthy and again flowery hopcharacter.Oily mouthfeel. Well matured and eased down sourness. Oaky aftertaste with ash. Astonishing beer, deep and complex and o, so delicious, The rating is well deserved.

Oct 13, 2009 on tap 8/26/2009 at papago... awesome!
hazy pour is reminiscent of the color of iced tea topped by a spongy tannish head.
a distinct smell of leather is followed by a blast of freshly cut flowers, stinky musty basement, pale malty sweetness and rotten tart red raspberries.
the palate is bracingly tart and dry though there is a lot of malt kicking around in the back. lots of subtle/refined flavors moving around and changing frequently... tart red raspberries on the verge of molding, musty funk, flowers, minerals, herbs and lemony tartness. as it warms, the barrel and it’s tannins begin showing.
intense mouth feel... it is bitter, dry, prickly and tart yet it is quite substantial.
amazing stuff... 9/5/9/5/19/4.7
