| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 5, 2007 2000. Not sure what to expect from something this old. Pours golden with a crisp, sparkling head. Smells of funky socks. Sharp mustard taste and something that’s striving to taste like an orange. Wears it’s age well. A real treat! Thanks SoLan!!

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 4, 2007 Updated: Jun 4, 2007Courtesy SoLan. My third beer sampled at O-Town Throwdown. 2000 on neck label. Cloudy straw color with thin light white head. Aroma has a pleasant funk to it. Sharp acidic tones are absent, and a layered musk and dust combination play around with a hint of a raw, sweet smell. Light and airy on the palate. Smooth on the taste. No aggressive tartness; earthy, grassy, slightly peppery notes. The tartness that is there lingers pleasantly on the palate, providing extra sensory stimuli as you return to contemplate the aroma some more. A great beer. Thanks, Alan. mgumby10 (1858), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Mar 4, 2007 2000 bottle. Courtesy SoLan. Pours a crisp, clear gold, with a very thin hazy white head, typical of gueze’s. Smells of monster acidity and tannins like all Cantillon’s do. The taste is still very sharp and crisp for 7 years old. This one has aged gracefully. The sourness seemed as though it had mellowed out slightly over time, which I thought was splendid because it wasn’t overpowering. This one was tasty. redlight (1469), Winter Park, Florida, USA
