Feb 12, 2006 2001 bottle.Hazy, deep golden colour with almost no head. Lemony aroma with hints of wood and talc. Complex acidic flavours, very dry with lemons and citrus fruit. Some oakiness towards the finish. Rather flat for a geuze. My expectations were sky-high, and I am afraid the beer did not quite live up to them. It is still a great beer, though.

Big horsehair and barnyard flavor with a nice sourness The sourness is backed with enough malt to balance it out.
Acidic texture and dry finish.
Great beer.

Jan 24, 2006 2002 bottle in a gueuze tasting. Its a disappointing vintage. Aroma is dusty but faint when taken as a whole. Old cheese feeling in the mouth. One can say that the Lou Pepe is educative in the way that it shows the difference between blending of vintage. Here, the brewing approach is interesting but don’t outdo the result of the traditional technique. Let me make myself clear; it’s a very good product, but I prefer the regular gueuze, which is much more spectacular.
Overall I think it’s a wonderful beer but it’s certainly not the best Cantillon.
I have to admit that I need to give this one another try.

Jan 4, 2006 2002 750 ml bottle. Beautiful golden colour, light white head. Beautiful earthy, horseblanket aroma, orange citrus and a sweet touch of vanilla in the nose. Flavour is sublime, light acidity balances the sweet oaky vanilla notes that I get from this. A bit of earthy dustiness and a long soft vanilla finish. Some faint acidity in the finish. Velvety texture. I was very sad to see the end of this bottle.

Jan 1, 2006 Updated: Jan 2, 20072002 bottle shared by DavidP on New Year’s Eve at the large party at Chucks. Drank this instead of (and in addition to) champagne and sparkling wine. The beer pours to a beautiful orangish bronze body. The aroma is leathery grapes and is pretty complex. The flavor is leathery sour grapes. The palate is medium-light bodied and nicely carbonated.
2002 bottle shared by JCapriotti on 1/2/07. The aroma is really tart and quite nice. Really funky leather and sour corn flakes. Very unique sour white grapes flavor and leather. Better than I remember it.

Dec 14, 2005 Pours cloudy yellow/orange with a creamy white head. Taste is sour, fruity and refreshing. Lemonade-like almost. A great sour treat.

Dec 2, 2005 Huge nose and lots of head that stick which just amazes me. But this is so complex, huge wet horse blanket nose, nice carbonation and big bubbles not like champagne. Long lingering flavors that keep you coming back for more.
