Dec 11, 2007 Vintage 2001, tasted July 07. It’s golden with a massive barnyard, sweaty and moulded basement aroma, way too much for my liking. The same goes for the flavour, where I also find a little citrus. It’s sour, but not extremely so. 2423

Dec 8, 2007 This 2000 vintage beer came in a corked bottle with a crown cap covering it, and it was a good thing too, as the cork appeared to have dried up and shrunk in upright storage. The cap had done its job, and the beer was effervescent, clear, and Champagne like. The smell was very mature and ripe, and the aging seemed to have taken a lot of the funky edges off. The smell reminded me of fresh squeezed lemon juice or a cider made from green apples. Taste was very dry and sour with no hint of any sweetness that might have ever been present. A little bit of hay and cheddar were apparent in the taste as well. Despite all this acidity and complexity, it was smooth and refreshing, and not harsh at all. Airy and slippery with a high level of puckering feel. Easy to drink except for the steep price of admission.

Nov 26, 2007 Richmond "industry" gathering, one of my contributions, 1999. Medium gold. Aromas and flavors were a match, and all just huge. Cheddar, sourness, funk, wood, hay, and more sourness of course. Another incredible beer at this tasting.

Nov 14, 2007 Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 07’. Pours golden with a slight haze and very little head. almost harsh sour aroma, a bit of stomach acid, lots of grape skin tannins and oak. The flavour doesn’t have the sourness that the aroma would suggest, which is definitely a positive. Flavours of wet beech wood, citrus and peach. Dry tart finish. I’m not sure if I like this more than the standard gueuze.

Oct 28, 2007 Bottle circa 2000. This was my first beer of the night, opened at 2:00 AM soon as I got in to Orlando. Feelings of dismay and caution arose as SoLan attempts to open the bottle...and the cap practically disintegrates, spraying metal flakes on the kitchen counter. Needless to say, we were slightly worried, but the cork was intact so we commenced to drinking. Poured a mud-orange with non-existent lacing and no head. Smelled like a gueuze so despite the black cap-flakes floating in my beer, I swallowed this down. The sourness was mellowed down dramatically; almost no taste at all. Mild sour apple, sharp acid upfront with subtle vinegar. Thin body/medium carbonation. Slightly too mellow for me. I want a gueuze to speak volumes and be proud of itself.

Oct 24, 2007 [2003 Edition] Pours hazy golden with almost no head. Mild sour aroma with your typical hay, leather, horseblanket and wood aromas. Flavor is not that sour for a Cantillon. Lacks comlexity. One for the starter.

Oct 20, 2007 I can take a geuze, some are sweeter, some more mellow. I was expecting the mellow with complexity, based on what I heard, based on the rating. What I got, and importnat this was a 2000 Vintage, was an absolutely sour geuze, with some edge taken off. From fruit peaks out, but its sour and while I finished 2/3 of a litre, I could not tolerate the entire bomber.
