4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Huge thanks to Mike for sharing this. Thank you thank you thank you. Hazy light orange body, thin white head. Nose is lemon, wood, cantillon house character, unrip/tart blueberry. Flavor is woody, lemony, unripe berry, funk/basement. A big sourness comes up right before the finish but fades into a nicely balanced ending. Great lingering unripe blueberry.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from the eponymous location. Poured a murky golden. Barnyard, berries, and sourness on the nose. Tastes a restrained tartness in comparison with Cantillon’s other gueuzes, ie only slightly mouthwatering.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at pikkulintu, helsinki. Flat, cidery golden pour. Aroma of medium earhy funkn barnyard, wet hay. Flvor is more potent than aroma but def more subdued than the majority of gueuze’s I’ve encountered. A very drinkable gueuze. Flavor quickly leaves palate unlike some amazingly tart gueuzes in the past. Almost a gueuze with training wheels.

37.5 cl bottle at Pikkulintu, on July 22, 2011
Blue Label
Clear pale golden color, white head. Acidic, sour, apple, stable scent. Sour, oh so sour taste, like red currants when green and unripe. Mouthpuckering sour mouthfeel. Loads of hawthorne, no bitterness.

God och syrlig doft. Mycket syrlig smak. nästan lite extremsyrlig. Tydlig smak av äpplen och aprikos. Lång eftersmak. Mycket god!
