Feb 25, 2007 A 2001 vintage that I bought at Cantillon in 2004 and brought back with me. Uncorked at a wonderful Belgian-themed dinner hosted by maltydogs. Nice big brett in the nose, big lactic and horseblanket, dusty. That nice Cantillon funk, but smoother than their others. Clear golden amber liquid with thin foamy lacing head atop. Light bodied, with very mild carbonation, almost still. Taste was amazing. Smooth, with lactic and Brett notes, sharp acidity but not stomach-wrenching. Clean crisp after with nice bitterness. Wheat and horseblanket, with a surprisingly mild finish. Very nice gueuze.

Jan 2, 2007 2002 Vintage thanks to me (bought in NYC; New Beer; April 2004). Gold, slightly hazed body. Bubbly off-white head. Loud aroma of lemons, barnyard funk, odd mineral character like sulfur or something. Very full, complex, and yummy smelling. Flavor isn’t as puckering as I expected. Dry, but not too dry. Sour cheese, minerally hops, it has a stale type of cobwebby mold thing going on too.

Jan 2, 2007 2002 vintage thanks to Jason.
Pour is a light orangish amber color w/ a small soapy off white head. Heavily funk-a-fied aroma leathers hay some wet musty oak boards some light sour cherries or other berry (i’m not quite sure). Palate is well coated and very tart. Flavor is tart fruits hints of some candied sugars i think the fruits are cherries a little bit anyway and some citrus almost orange like notes. Quite sour defiante dry wood notes in the finish. Nice.

Dec 30, 2006 2002 bottle. hazy yellowish orange with a billowing white head. fades a bit but retains a nice lacing. aroma is very woody, musty, and dry. Light to medium bodied with a silky mouthfeel. Much more dry and woody flavors than your typical Cantillon. Notes of oak, horseblanket, citric acid, pepper, and spontaneous yeast. Still a great beer, but this kind of let me down.

Dec 18, 2006 2003 bottle, I bought this after notalush and apoptosis got it, just cause I wanted something sour and why not this. Poured with a small head that quickly dissipates. Color is dark yellow falling into an orange area with some golden tints. Aroma is signature Cantillon with the acidic tartness with lemon and other fruit resemblances. The mouthfeel is a bit heavier and less carbonated than usual Cantillon. Taste is a little disappointing, has some woodsy characters to it. Still finishes with a nice mouth puckering sourness. Also, nice but the Kriek is just great.

Dec 3, 2006 2003. Light gold with a loose, thin head. Sour "Belgian" fermentation aromas with lemon, earth, and some complex aspects from aging. Definitely light-bodied with strong tartness that still manages to be quite lithe. Simple yet multi-dimensional flavors make this out to be quite an interesting lambic experience.
