Oct 17, 2005 Bottle. 2002 ?
Slight hazy dark yellow. Bit restrained aroma. Ripe green apples and woody. Not as sour as expected. Grapey/Citrusy notes with wheat clearly evident. A solid geuze.

Oct 17, 2005 Brewed 2002. The cork wasn’t in the best shape and smelled terrible. Beautifully clear orange, somewhat dark for the style, not much head. Sweaty, musty, sesame seed, rotten apple aroma with a definite stale hop presence which isn’t that great. Vanilla oakiness, minty menthol character, sweaty phenols and plastic too. Low carbonation gives a relatively full-bodied, but slightly dull, feel. Sour apple and apricot juice, vanilla, a milky character and a big, rough, herbal bitterness. Flavours aren’t quite as intense as they could be I reckon. Doesn’t really grab me. I don’t think Cantillon do gueuzes as well as they do fruit beers and lambic.

Oct 16, 2005 Updated: Feb 26, 2008(750ml bottle, 2000 vintage) Pours a lightly cloudy orange body with a small white head. Aroma is mildly tart and has some earthiness. Flavor is juicy, somewhat tart, and lemony with a dry, champagne-like finish.

let’s see this was cracked open at Lumpy’s after i left schnitzelfest. nice clear orange pour with a white head. sour aroma with wood, and sweat, and acidic goodness. the lightest sour from any cantillon yet. watered grapefruit with red grape finish. the wood taste really comes through. a nice tart beverage.

Oct 6, 2005 Nose-lots of barn and funk-the usual geuze nose. A little more spice in the nose than I am used to in a geuze. Taste-excellent sour with a sharp tart edge-tart like sweet tarts. Notes of oak, funk, some sawdust, very light vegetal notes, some black pepper, earth, seawater, and lemon zest.

Sep 16, 2005 2001 vintage. Hazy brown-gold amber. Acetic acid, must, wet hay, and horseblanket in the aroma. Multiple sour sensations, aectic and lactic plus others. Cobwebs, alfalfa left in the rain, and earthen mustiness. Finish is dry with residual sourness and horseblanket. Mouthfeel is light medium and very dry.

Sep 12, 2005 Draught at Akkurat. Opaque gold colour. Intense funky yeast and farm aroma. I am not even going to attempt to describe the complexity of the flavous. Others will do so far better than I ever could. Except to say the range of sour fruit tastes is remarkable. Intense sour and dry finish. My mate could not believe this was a beer and kept telling me it was white wine.
