Jun 1, 2008 Poured from a 750 ml bottle, vintage 2000. Hazy, apricot orange appearance; thin white film. Herbal, soft green aroma; tarragon, lemongrass, citrus zests, seaweed. Sparse funk; clean earthy character; smooth touch without much startling bite. Flavor of clean funky brett, lemon juice and tangy vinegar, lively and light, and bitterly dry; the funky crunch of cheeses, horseblanket and leather reserved under a blanket of quieted, distant fruit skins. Mineral bitterness persists; throughout, a delicate, composed, settled sourness. Palate is sprightly and round; finishes with a sparkling funk of horseblanket and grassy bitterness. Intricate and slow to unfold; awesome. Thanks Ken!

Jun 1, 2008 2000 bottle consumed 6/08. Courtesy of kmweaver. Hazy golden body with a large white head. Very funky nose with salty blue cheese, lots of horseblanket, some citrus rind, yogurt and strawberry. The flavor is quite dry, the acidity is there, but isn’t as bright as Cantillon usually is, definitely a bit mellowed. What is there is some citrus fruits, melon rind, some cheese and yogurt. Medium body is very soft with light carbonation. Finish is long with a lasting sourness. Definitely very different than new vintage Cantillon at this point, but different can be good too.

May 21, 2008 2004. Clear, bubbly gold body with a very active white head. Looks like champagne!! Funky aroma - apple, spice, brett, oak, grape, honey, lemon and jasmine notes. Sweet and sour taste, with hints of lemon, orange, funky cheese, brett, and loads of acidity, with some honey and caramel notes balancing it out. Long lingering sour finish. Dry and still in the mouth. What a damn good Gueuze!!

May 2, 2008 Slight orange colour with a white disappearing head. Very strong yet smooth gueuze aroma and flavor. Woody, cheesy, little vinegary, funky, and fruity.

Apr 2, 2008 Pours a clear gold color with a lacy white head. The first, last, and only thing you notice on the nose is the FUNK - it assaults your senses without being overwhelming and sets up a great prelude for this beer. The taste itself is very strong and funky with a sour snap at the end and champagne effervescence throughout. What an amazing beer - I can’t BELIEVE it took me this long to discover Cantillon. Shame on me! SHAME!

Mar 9, 2008 Golden in color with not much head. The smell took me to what I think an old school Belgian brewery would smell like. Sour and slightly acidic. Strong and sour but very pleasing. Wine like. Great beer.
