Ungstrup (14758), Frederiksberg, Denmark Mar 13, 2004 The color is a clear orange and it has a small white head. The aroma is sour of grapefruit combined with nutmeg - a very fresh aroma. The flavor is sour of grapefruit and lemon with a lovely sour dry woody end. Papsoe (14642), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 29, 2005 (Bottle 75 cl) Beautiful, hazy orangey golden with a surprising head which collapses rather fast though. Also a surprising fizzyness. Typical refined gueuze flavours without many traces of the Moscatel-grapes. Oh, did I forget to mention, that this is very dry and extremely sour? Well, it’s a Cantillon goddammit... 270601 omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Mar 9, 2003 Updated: Jun 5, 2003Sampled draught at Akurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Pale orange. Acidic, just like the regular gueuze, but also with a big punch of tannines and muscat grapes The grapes only add a hint of fruitiness. The draught version seem more balanced than the bottled and adds a bit of honey. Still, this is sour like pure acid, and I love it (even if my stomach does not...)
yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Apr 25, 2008 37.5 cL bottle, cheers Jeppe! Pours hazy to murky orange with a fully diminished white head. Classic dry Cantillon barnyard aroma with a light citric touch. Flavour is nicely balanced between fruity grapes notes and a solid acidic/citric brett dryness. Tart fruity flavour following with a solid wooden note. Nice citric bite in the finish. fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Nov 4, 2006 Bottle. Cloudy yellow brown color with a large head that quickly disappears. Tart, grape (vindruer), yeasty aroma. Extremely sour. Grape was detectable only as a sour, underripe grape juice aftertaste.
