Nov 26, 2007 Richmond "industry" gathering, one of my contributions, 1999. Medium gold. Aromas and flavors were a match, and all just huge. Cheddar, sourness, funk, wood, hay, and more sourness of course. Another incredible beer at this tasting.

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.

Dec 23, 2007 Bottle: 2000 vintage. Poured initially clear gold with a lively white head, some haze as the bottom of the bottle was reached. Aroma, great funk, with some lemon, acidity, and tartness. Flavor, some vinegar, funky barnyard notes, lemons, nice acidity. The thing that struck me the most was the balance of it all, not a sour bomb, not overly funky, just right down the middle. Outstanding stuff.

Aug 3, 2008 ’04 Bottle: Courtesy of pepsican...thanks Andy. Clear gold pour with no head. Lots of lactic acidity present, tart, light berry and cherry notes along with some grassy accents round it out and of course their is the uber-barnyard funk presence noted as well. Mouth puckering sour...more towards the lactic type than vinegar, light fruity esters lead to a earthy, funked up dry finish. Amazing brew.

Aug 1, 2004 2000 Vintage: An excellent gueuze. Pours an exceedingly shining golden color. Nice head that quickly dies. Nose is fantastic. So sour i can smell it across the room. Notes of sourness, horseblanket, wheat and pine needles. Flavor is appetizingly dry with a hint of wheat and blue cheese. In the afterpalate one might find dill. The best Gueuze I’ve had.

Oct 21, 2002 Updated: Jun 29, 20031998 VERSION sampled from BOTTLE #114 of 120 produced: Smoothest of all the Cantillom lambics and gueuzes! Bright gold in color, slighly hazy. Cheeses and petting zoo memories in the nose. Super complex without any tastes really dominating, including the sour notes! Superb gueuze made from 2 year old lambics that are handchosen by the Grandfather of the brewers family.

Nov 10, 2003 Finally I got hold of this beer. Vintage 2000. Aroma has oak, grapes, some hops and grapefruit, The flavor is stronger and even more complex. A good deal of sourness, but not overwhelming. Even a hint of sweetness present. I found so many flavors. Honey, oak, grapefruit, grape juice, banana liquor, pineapple. A magnificent and immensely complex beer in all aspects. Less assertive as the "normal"Cantillon geuze, but makes that up in finesse. A worthy # 1400!

Aug 10, 2004 2001. Orange gold, hazy and topped with a short head and good lacing. Aroma is full of summer - apple, grapes(?), barnyard - fantastic aromas. Starts with some sour and tartness, but very smooth - great palate here, a sour candy buildup at the back of the swallow thickens despite the dry woody finish. Complex and very drinkable. Thanks for sharing this, Sean!
