May 2, 2008 Slight orange colour with a white disappearing head. Very strong yet smooth gueuze aroma and flavor. Woody, cheesy, little vinegary, funky, and fruity.

Apr 2, 2008 Pours a clear gold color with a lacy white head. The first, last, and only thing you notice on the nose is the FUNK - it assaults your senses without being overwhelming and sets up a great prelude for this beer. The taste itself is very strong and funky with a sour snap at the end and champagne effervescence throughout. What an amazing beer - I can’t BELIEVE it took me this long to discover Cantillon. Shame on me! SHAME!

Mar 9, 2008 Golden in color with not much head. The smell took me to what I think an old school Belgian brewery would smell like. Sour and slightly acidic. Strong and sour but very pleasing. Wine like. Great beer.

Mar 6, 2008 2004 bottle. Pours a light amber color and fairly clear. Fast fading white head with no lacing. Aroma is quite nice, seemingly more acidic than with barny or funky presence. Carbonation was seemingly low on opening and definitely a little flatter than I would want for a gueuze. Taste is pleasant, bit of Brett. inspired flavors and a greater portion of sour/acid, almost reminiscent of the pith or skin of a grapefruit. Light to medium bodied. My biggest problem with this was the lack of carbonation. Overall, nice.
