Oct 31, 2005 Thanks to JohnC for sharing. As expected, this one is tart, fruity and quite interesting. The mouthfeel is light, clean and finish is sour but pleasant. Quite enjoyable.

Oct 30, 2005 This is less intense in its overall funkiness than the other Cantillon lambics that I’ve had. The aroma is still quite sour, but a definite floral hopping comes through as well. The taste is sour, like a mixture of crabapple and lemons with just a hint of the usual branyard tastes. It finishes on a dry, flowery note. Pretty decent. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Wine & Spirits, Downers Grove, IL<font size=-1>

Oct 30, 2005 Updated: Mar 13, 2007These sour beers aren’t generally my thing, but I like this one alright. It isn’t nearly as tart as some of the other Cantillon products or maybe it is the hop bitterness I like. It has a sweet(green apples) quality that I like, with some horse blanket type flavors. It is more over tart, and well carbonated. Moderately tart finish,especially different for a Cantillon Gueuze.

Oct 29, 2005 This brew pours an opaque orange color and is very tart, sour and dry. There are lots of complex flavors in the background but the sour lambic qualities stand out leading to a clean finish.

Oct 7, 2005 Bottle at GBBF, August 2005. Cheers to Mullet/Duff for this one. Typical Cantillon stuff. Hazy gold colour. Sharp, cheesy, funky aroma. Tart and grapefruity/lemony, hoppy bitterness with woody edges. The hops make it more bitter but somehow more easy to drink than some other Cantillons I’ve tried.
Earlier Rating: 4/25/2005 Total Score: 3.5
Orangey red colour. Very woody, modestly funky. Maybe a bit cheesy. Dry and moderately sharp but, like the Lou pepe Kriek sampled just before, I found the mouthfeel rather more mellow and less aggressive than I expected. You could still hardly call it easy-drinking though. Perhaps more familiarity with traditional lambics is making them seem softer to me than hitherto. Bottled at the London Joet gathering.

Oct 7, 2005 RBESG 2005, Pale yellow colour with a small white head. Tart fruity aroma with a yeasty touch. Malty flavor with a light sourness and a spicy note.

Oct 4, 2005 Bottle. Sharp clean geuze nose. Nothing detracting from a pure clean full blown geuze experience. Very clean and nice.

Oct 4, 2005 Updated: Oct 21, 2005Aug, 2005. GBBF Not my thing. There’s a soft warm straw aroma which is pleasant. The texture, however, I found very sharp. There’s an agressive dry tone to this that is not suited to my palate. I found this undrinkable. [2.0]

The Kilburn Gathering. Eggy fart. Dry, slightly puckering but quite warm and soft and wood pulpy. [2.6]
