Cantillon Cuvée des Champions

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Tart citrus acidic with some funky notes. Grapefruit mouth puckering lightly woody with a tart finish. Awesome brew with a light lactic acid character. A great brew.

750ml bottle at Novare Res. 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.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours hazy golden with a great, staying creamy, white head. Quite impressive for a gueuze. Aroma is funky, lemons, wood, oranges, vanilla and a slight peppery edge. Medium carbonation, great dry mouthfeel. Lovely tart, some lemons, funk, good dryness, orangse, wood and green apples. Sets itself apart from other gueuzes by being a) milder in tartness, b) lower in apple flavours, higher in citric flavour. This makes it far more drinkable for me than, say, Belle-vue Selection (which is more or less apple vinegar). Very nice, very balanced and incredibly drinkable.

excited about this ... pours a clear lemon juice ... good lacing ... very wild stuff, a champ .. very intresting .. mouthfeel is a tad watery but makes it wickidly drinkable .. a nice brew ...

Bottle. Hazy golden with a large champagne like white head. Aroma is hay, dry citrus and "old cellar like", typical Cantillon. Flavor is mostly dry dusty acidic grape, with hints of pine, and it has a strong tart finish. Not as harmonized as the others Cantillon I have tasted, its to acid.
