Apr 15, 2005 2001 bottle. Cloudy orange & straw with a small head. Funky, lemony Cantillon aroma. Although the mouthfeel is lively, but you cannot tell by the appearance, as the head dissapeared leaving just a pool of cloudy liquid love. Tastes as though fresh, ripe grapes were dragged through the pasture on the way into the barn to ferment. Pucking tartness soon becomes mellow dryness in the palate. Not my favorite Cantillon but an excellent gueuze.

Mar 20, 2005 2000 vintage, 2002 bottling. Golden, clear, thick tan white head. Aroma is slightly soured, slightly sweet, and slightly barnyard. Definitely well balanced and not overpowering. Sweet and sour refreshing flavor with a hint of cheese. Very smooth palate. I don’t know how this is effected by age, but WOW, this may be the best bottle of Gueuze that I have had yet...

Mar 15, 2005 Bottle label 2000. $17. Sour, rancid, cheese or milk gone bad. What? Either something was wrong with this particular bottle or THIS is the beer that deserves the Arrogant Bastard label narrative. If the latter than I am probably not worthy and certainly not interested.

Mar 8, 2005 Updated: Feb 21, 2006 Holy Geueze, Batman! this is so well made it is like liquid crystal. Amazing Cantillon base that takes ip up a notch or two over lesser examples of the style. More complex and dry acidity with a huge citrus tart balance. Great nose, body and finish just awesome. Depth, complexity and balance that defy description.

Feb 19, 2005 Bottle labled 2000. Hazy amber color with large white head, with some hanging around lacing the glass. Standard gueuze aroma, less funk than others, very citric, moderate pinapple, rotting wood. Refined body, woody, sour but not overpowering, juicy, firm, dry finish. A beautiful beer. (Bottle purchased at Downtown Liquors).

Feb 11, 2005 Cloudy orange/gold with a white head that settles quickly. Aromas are sour and musty with hints of apple and that special Cantillon barnyardiness. Flavours are initially quite soft and fruity, rising to the expected musty farmyard and sour notes. Has a nice sparkle on the palate and a good level of dryness on the finish . The best gueuze I have had.

Jan 3, 2005 cloudy soft consistent orange color, small head with lots of bubles. Hightly acidic smelling, light ash, pine, apples, lots of peach in the aroma. Big lambic hit of sourness early, very sharp, rounded, peaches and apples, a very soft finish that makes me overlook how sour it is (as the Giradin afterwards did as well) Lasting tartness i can’t shake
