Sep 27, 2008 Thanks to egadjzis for sharing this one. Pours a hazy orange/golden with a smaller bubbly/creamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of floral, perfume, mixed citrus, tons of flowers, sour cherries, funky/sour nose, grapes, kind of woody. Wonderful nose. Flavor of sour cherries, funky/sour, oak, light vanilla, wonderfully floral, mixed citrus, moderate bitterness, right amount of tartness.

Sep 25, 2008 Pour is murky orangey with a thin off white head...smell is funky and tart, well it is a Cantillon...hints of wood and grapes...taste is, well I hesitate to say mild...some white grapes and nice barnyard funk with hints of charred oak...lightly bitter and tart in the finish...

Sep 22, 2008 courtesy of Tony Flükiger - pours a hazy golden-blond colour without foam; aroma of cellar and apples, cider-like, notes of cinnamon; light to medium malt body; fair acidity (but quite modest by Cantillon standards), refreshing, quite dry and long fruity (apples) and acidic finish - very good

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle, from the BSF at the GBBF. Honey colored pour with a nice white layer of fine head. Dense perfumed apple aroma, honeysuckle, green plums. The cognac is there, but in a very restrained way, warming and softening the whole, adding a certain buttery richness. Swirling the glass releases a bit of green peppermint. A nice hit of lemon flavor that is more warm citrus than sour, mouthwatering apple skin tannin, and a fresh cut oak board exhale. The main problem with this is that I don’t want to sip through my one bottle of this and never taste it again: I want my own barrel of it, and I want a glass as an aperitif before every meal. Breakfast included. <sigh>

Sep 12, 2008 Pours golden with a soft white head. Aroma is sour lemon, barnyard but not overpowering. Not as sour as I thought considering some of the other gueuzes out there. Flavor is well balanced with some earthy notes that linger throughout and in the finish. Finished semi-dry but not mouthpuckering. A complex and well done beer. So, so glad i have two of these the price tag was worth getting two.

Sep 10, 2008 Bottle shared by toncatcher at RBSG. So much good sour in this beer. Aromas were sour fruit and lot’s of tartness. Flavors were similar with acidic tones and mouth puckering finish. Very good.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle, 5% at GBBF08. Good citric flavour, some orange juice. Cloudy orange colour. Stable white head. Very nice citric flavour, not mouthpuckering, but really good. A well-balanced lambic.

Sep 7, 2008 75cl bottle, at home. i almost cried when it was finished. almost a reason to move to brussels!! one of the softest and most delicate geuze i had, delicate horsey, vanilla and pepper nose. sour but in a light velvety sort of way, woody, citric, mouthwatering. if i could imagine what the tears of a goddess would taste like, this comes pretty close xxx
