Jun 19, 2009 750mL. Bottled January 2008. Even from the neck of the bottle, this beer throws an amazing aroma. Cottony, honeysuckle-scented perfume wafts through tart lactic and citric acids, bringing a steady stream of fresh salty warm breezes. Strong and beautiful. Pours a stunning near-crystal-clear peachy shining golden, with a rim in soapy, heavy lacing pure white. Gueze is good. Tart, vibrant, alive and lightly white-grape vinous. Dry, oaked, and crisp. A bit of bearberry and lemon acids come through. The sugar palate isn’t as soft and creamy as other versions, but this has a stunning pale nectarine and peach fruit profile. Balanced. The funk level lays a little lower. The carbonation is a bit softer than I expected. Finishing, this beer gives a fireworks glow or ruby, golden, and white grapefruit pulp and zest. So wonderful, so wonderful. I like the youthfulness of this example.

Jun 19, 2009 As Cuvee 1904 at Bier Circus Cloudy orange with a lasting white head. Aroma has some cellar, funk, grapefruit, typical Cantillon. Tart with lots of grapefruit peel-type astringency, lots of wood in the finish.

May 23, 2009 Vibrant bubbly orange-yellow pour. Thin white head. Funky sour vinegar flavor with lots of earthy notes. Woody and earthy flavor. Very sour, though not quite as much as Cantillon’s regular geuze. Interesting.

Could it be, my new favorite beer?! This is friggen amazing stuff. The dry hopping gives it a nice hoppy aroma in the glass in addition to the aged hops, and wild yeasts its a wonderful nose. The flavor is heavenly, sour, sweet, and tangy. This is a perfectly put together beer, a bottle I’ll never ever forget.
