Doesn't get much better than thls! Poured cold, straight out of the fridge with a nice foamy, thick, off-white head that slowly settles and a little lace. Color is a clear amber with some tiny bubble trails. Aroma is yeast, tart, citrus, spice, perfume. Flavor's like nose, tart from yeast and carbonation perfectly married up front, hint of sweet, and grapes in back; very clean. Body and carbonation are perfect. Finish is like flavor, long, refreshing and satisfying. Truly a masterpiece.

I've recently started to get more into sour beers and to my delight, I spotted a bottle of this on the shelf at the local beverage warehouse.

Poured into a Rare Vos glass.

Color: A decent golden-amber color with a one-finger head.

Aroma: Sour with a tart hint of apple and fruit on the nose. Definitely smells like a gueze.

Taste: Tart and mouth-puckering upfront. Hints of sour fruit, especially apple and grape. Finishes dry and sour.

Mouthfeel: Tart and sour. Apple flavors shine through more. Simple and smooth.

Verdict: Definitely more tolerable than other sour beers I have had. It's a style that's not for everyone but I find myself enjoying it the more I get into it. If you have an affinity for all things sour and you love beer, you might like guezes. I would recommend you pick up a bottle of this. So far, it's possibly the best example I've had. It's not overly sour and the aftertaste is smooth.

750 ml bottle tasted at the brewery. Hazy yellow with chunks and mud in the bottom of the bottle. Rapidly disappearing head with scant lacing. Aroma of must and mold and citrus and horse sweat, but in a good way. Sour dry taste, wonderful complexity with notes of grapefruit and lemon. Even wakes up your tonsils. Dry finish. Heaven.

375ml bottle, poured into a flute glass.

This one was bottled in 2008 with a blend of 04-05,05-06 and 06-07.

I managed to convince my local bottle shop (Warners at the Bay) manager to stock this and I am glad that he did.

A - Cloudy yellow with moderate carbonation. The head forms well then disappears after a while.

S - Strong yeasty, fruity smell. This is a delight to smell which accentuates the taste.

T - Tart as any good lambic should be. A good lemon taste with a hint of vinegar This makes it very refreshing. Reminds me of that first mouthful of natural yoghurt which gets better with each mouthful.

M - Fresh with no hint of carbonation. Great on a hot day.

D - I could happily drink this all day. I look forward to my visit to the Cantillon brewery this July. Whilst I recognise, this is not everyone's cup of tea (or glass of beer) this is an exceptional example of a lambic.

375ml bottle from 2008. Pours a hazy dark gold with a small white head--looks like a gueuze should. Acidic, musty aromas abound. Definite brett character, though it's overshadowed by sourness. Subtle woody notes. Intensely tart, acidic taste with notes of must and leather in the background. Some very slight, citric sweetness. Earthy and oaky. Incredibly dry. Full-bodied with low carbonation. The quintessential gueuze.

Bottle labeled Cantillon Classic Gueuze

Golden with a thin head. There was little head retention

Very sour smelling. Tart and acidic. You can tell that there's some good funk.

Apples and funkiness galore. Dour overwhelming at first and then mellows though the glass. Terrific.

Nice finish and very crisp. fine carbonation levels.

A great sipping beer. You need to sip in order to enjoy all the complexities. One of the best guezes I have tried.

Served in a Duvel tulip at 8-10 celcius.

Pours hazy orangish yellow, thin but large white head that dissipates down to a film over the beer, very little carbonation.

Aroma of sour apples, raw peeled potatoes, feet and unripe pear skin. Flavor is a bomb of sour fruit esters and sourpatch kids candy.

Dry and puckering, extremely good, I would make this my lawnmower beer if it was available easily.

750ml bottle, from the brewery itself, then flown back to the US as checked luggage. 2003 vintage. Also some impressions taken from the four days I had it at the brewery, in similar bottles.

Appearance: medium orange, zero head, zero lacing, minimal carbonation noted.

Aroma: Tangy sharp, slight vinegar. Classic brett, hard to imagine how it could be done better.

Taste: beautiful, distinctive Brett goodness. Tangy, sharp, assertive, puckering brett beauty. Little else: minimal hop character, minimal malt body.

Mouth: mostly a puckering, little else to say.

Overall: A delight, at least for those who love traditional gueze. Puckering, tangy and delicious. I'll buy it again and again, every time I have the opportunity.

duck duck geuze (sorry, couldnt resist)

@ 12.99 for a bottle this aint cheap fizz, nice pop of the cork, immediately hit with that belgian yeasty/bready/honey thing... but I am getting ahead of myself..

this bottle has no bottled date but I trust my beer guy and he told me it is a fresh case right from belgium.

appearance:
straw lemonade suspension, one full finger of head dissipating, no carbonation bubbles seen in the murk, the color, although murky looking, is incredibly consistent glass to glass, knowing all that goes into this style that amazes me.

nose:
the standard farm belgian nose, like dough witha touch of honey or even summer flowers and behind it lies a flow of lemon tartness.. makes the mouth water, I close my eyes and imagine a fruit hybrid made from pears, apples and lemons, where you get the sweetness of pear apple on a bite then the finish is the tart refreshment of lemon sorbet.. wonderfully balanced nose.

taste:
the lemony flavor is up front (not as heavy duty as cantillon's other lambics). the medium body almost is hidden because of the tart refreshing finish. the carbonation is just enough to keep this afloat in the mouth, like the nose, this is balanced as well. I also detect a little salinity in the finish matching the tart ness, which gives way to subtle apple/pear tones.

drinkability?
well, if you like geuze dial this one up, this is a very drinkable brew, there are no distractions of too much fruit etc, you really get the raw lemon feel of the style. for me this is nearly as good as it gets.. awesome brew.

12.7 oz bottle. Sure hope I'm reviewing the right one, mine has the picture of the fermenter in the barley field, called simply "Organic Gueuze." Bottle in 2005, as on the cork. I sure wish they dated the outside of the bottle, as you don't know the vintage until after it's opened. Poured into my favorite glass: my tall Wal-Mart pilsner, at about 50ºF.

Active carbonation with lots of fast bubbles and a solid head. Pilsner colored, mostly clear but some unfiltered haze, making for a very pretty beer.

Smells like a gueuze: funky, earthy, sour, 12-grain bread, sour apples, wood. Smells great.

Taste is really complex, because it has alot of extreme flavors, and yet they all blend to make a mellow beer. Initially it's very salty, along with the expected sourness, although both are presented very gently. Grains are also present, but again are subtle and blend perfectly with everything else. Richer and much less tart than I anticipated. Dry and refreshing. Reminds me of a salted margarita.

Mouthfeel is just right, light and refreshing. Excuse the comparison, but it is as lightly bodied as a US macro lager. This is a beer you could really session with.

Overall, this beer is the very definition of balance. Delicate and delicious. I guess I picked a good age to drink it as well. The perfect beer for an afternoon or along with a salad. Highly recommended for lambic lovers and sophisticated margarita drinkers alike. Cheers!

Pours in the glass a bright golden color. Very bubbly and effervescent with a thin white head that faded quickly. Smells like sour fruit. Taste is sour and also very dry, similar to champagne. It's a dynamic flavor, bubbly in your mouth but easy to drink. This is a great beer to have with brunch.

Today I'm going Belgian: I'm tasting to different kinds of two Gueuze from different beer-houses (Cantillon and Oud Beersel
Well, here we go...

A: When I opened the bottle (33 cl.) with first the bottle-opener and the cork-screw it poured golden (with some orange). The head was surprisingly small, white and compact - but small. The beer was also cloudy, with some residual lacings.

S: The first thing that hits your nose is the yeast (Brettanomyces), but there is also dryness, fruit (I can sense green apples), malt and a very obvious freshness.

T: I can't believe it's beer (it's somewhere between cider and white wine) - taste a Bud and then taste this, you'll know exactly what I mean. It has a dry taste, it's also acidic (with a hint of citrus). But a main taste is the freshness. A very strange thing is that it tastes like black powder smells after you fired it. The aftertaste is so long!!! It's dry and acidic.

M: Dry and your tongue gets tickled.

D; This is a great Gueuze, but I guess it's not for everyone - either you love it or you hate it. But if you're into beer - you can't die curious - try it at least once.

thank once more to sanatar for sharing this one. It's a quick favorite!

Cloudy golden with a small bubbly head. Aromas are prounced stinky locker feet, lemony citrus, and horse blanket to the max. Flavors are identical, with an emphasis on the dirty horse. Sour flavors make my tongue squirm and contract. I am addicted to this feeling! High carbonation. The dirtier the sour, the better. It took about five sips before I was no longer surprised at the ways this gueuze took over my palate with all of it's sour flavors. Yum! I am craving this one again.

One of my favorite gueuzes, truly a pleasure whenever I open a bottle. Poured this one into my Cantillon tulip. Pours a pretty amber with a half inch head. Clearer than most gueuzes. Nose is lemon and tangerines, a wine aroma not unlike a dry white like pinot grigio, tangerines, and earthy brett aromas. Taste is lots of fruit, including more lemon and orange citrus, pineapple, melon, and granny smith apple. One of the more acidic geuezes (a quality I quite enjoy). A beautiful beer!

Ah, Cantillon in Oz. Had the pleasure overseas about 4 years ago and have looked forward to drinking them again.

Dark orange/dark gold in colour. Very low head and low carbonation.

Such a exceptional smell. This to me is an example of true beer aroma complexity. Where to start: Has a real cider and wine smell to it - very unbeerish (in the standard sense). White wine, skanky old barrels, apples, citrus and a massive does of Belgian funk (barny more than poo). Amazing appeal.

Palate is initially loaded with sourly deliciousness (salty even?). Hard citrus bend - lemons and grapefruits followed with the familiar wine/cider trip. Sourness is very upfront and tight, however, as the glass goes on and the palate tunes in and the sweeter fruiter edge comes out. Lovely. Some real pungent funk bite in there as well.

Broke out some Gruyère to go with this and the Gueuze really started to sing on the palate. Given time it really opens and continually changes - gets softer, vinous, fruiter and even better tasting. Going back to the store for some more!

Picture this:
You're standing in the door of a threshing barn, looking out over an orchard with apples, lemons and oranges.
The setting sun pours an amber haze over everything. You close your eyes and feel the sun's warmth on your face, and the smells of the fruit - sweet and sour, almost stinging -, and barn - wood, somewhat mouldy, different cereals, dust, undefinable funk - swirl and mingle.
And you feel like you'd want to stay there forever.

That's Cantillon geuze: amber to golden colour, your expected barnyard funky smell, and a very sour bite to it, just enough alcohol to warm you without burning. It's a geuze, and i happen to love those, and this one is quite exceptional.
The ONLY pure and natural geuze: no addition of any yeasts, the wort is inoculated with wild yeast spores in the air.
The original beer, in every sense.

Cork Dated 2003.

Out with the Old…in with the New. For some time Cantillon have been using organic ingredients in the production of their lambics. As time goes by it seems that all of the Gueuze leaving the brewery will be of the Gueuze Lambic-Bio (or, Organic Gueuze) variety. Certified Organic by Ecocert Belgium.

Presentation: Classic looking 750ml Cantillon green glass bottle comes with a cork/crown cap, all luxuriously covered in a lovely thick dimpled black foil that covers the slender neck. Light hints of a very dark rusty-orange liquid above the cork once the crown cap was removed, but it cleaned up easy enough. The main obverse label has a picture of a poppy laden field with the Cantillon Copper juxta-posed against it.

Appearance: My Cantillon Lambic Tumbler was steam cleaned then rinsed in cold water and allowed to dry. I poured the contents of the whole 750ml bottle at once into a Jug, from which I topped up my Tumbler, the way I always like to drink my Cantillons. The body exhibits a gorgeously hazed peach-lemon body with an inordinate amount of active streamers throughout. Uncontrollable head is restrained with a careful pour to form a thick white cap that fizzes loudly (put you ear against the glass!!) and slowly collapses to leave a thin white halo. Unholy appearance…..this is Lambic-Gueuze at its best; stunning and dangerous with a blessed heritage, it looks fantastic and defining of the style in the straight-sided Cantillon Gueuze Tumbler. A gentle tip reveals almost zero carbonation, non-existent lacing.

Nose: Oh Yes…..intense Pavlovian aromas, the mere whiff of a Cantillon Gueuze sends my Brain into overdrive, a high speed movie collection of Belgium memories and the of the few times that I walked into the Cantillon Museum in Brussels. Dry, acidic, lambic astringency with some freshly squeezed sharp lemons. This used to make my eyes water and have my nasal hairs screaming surrender, in French of course ;-) but these days I am hardened to its massive intensely upfront nose, I may be used to it these days – but it still impresses, Cantillon Gueuze still has a defining odor that is never forgotten.

Taste: Take the nose and form the gaseous hints into liquid fact. Puckering right from the off, my dry lips suffer a battering as the lemon acidity stings the edges of my mouth. The carbonation tumbles out the Gueuze as it flows across the tongue, leaving a trail of funky farmyard devastation; sour rivers are swelled with a series of biting tributaries from the citric tartness, malt vinegar, Brett flowing Artesian wells and yeasty oak casks. Sour, sharp, dry, biting and funky. Pure Cantillon, it is easy to see why this one blended brew fills up for over half of the bottles that leave Rue Gheude, 56 in Brussels.

Mouthfeel: What moisture I had, has long gone, replaced with a yeast laden lambic plasma that stick to my tongue and eats away the flesh. High level activity from the dissolved carbonation fashions nicely with a dry acidic evaporation.

Drinkability: I have such a weak spot for Cantillon Gueuze, this is dangerously drinkable and so bloody easy for me to overdose on, and I just cannot resist it.

Overall: Could I tell the difference between the original Gueuze-Lambic and the newer Organic Gueuze version? Probably not. Should this be listed separately to the “regular” version? Maybe! Maybe not!! – Who cares? Not me! Just enjoy this marvelous thoroughly traditional Lambic-Gueuze for what it is, a defining example of a great Beer Style that once tried, is never ever forgotten, but always missed. Now where did I put those Tums…..?

Always an Honor and a fantastic pleasure to savor this Masterful product, nice to finally savor the “new” Organic version.

Orga-sm-nic!!!

this beer pours out into a tulip flared flute a very crisp golden straw yellow color with a large bubbled white head that falls back quickly

the smell is very bright and flowery with a strong pungent sourness that could be smelled all through the kitchen as soon as the cork was out of the bottle. there is a hint of a wood flavor that came through as i swirled the beer a little to liven it up a bit.

the taste is what you expect from the smell, a strong and very sharp sourness, there is a hint of the infamous "horsey-ness" and a oaky dryness similar to an oaked chardonay. the strength of the lactic acid in these beers overwealms most other flavors but there are hints of many barnyard characteristics.

the finish is a long one with sourness that really bites at the tongue and makes the jaw muscles clench although the texture on the tongue is very slilky and smooth from the wheat. this is a wonderful beer and a must try for all who dare to drink the sours!

Pours a golden color with a two finger thick white head that recedes very quickly - at first it settles into a nice layer across the top (about half a finger thick), but then a little while later fades into some whisps. No lacing.

This aroma is big and funky - apparently this the infamous "horse blanket" that I've heard so much about...also picked up some notes of sourness/yeast.

If the aroma is strong, the taste is a total kick in the taste buds. In a word: brilliant. Sour first and foremost, with notes of apple and yeast? It's amazing - this thing is so sour, yet so phenomenally delicious, too. As I sit here and reminisce about it, my mouth is literally watering. This brew is great stimulus for the sides and back of your tongue. It's simply tantalizing. One of the most delicious beers I've ever tasted.

Mouthfeel is thin, smooth and appropriately carbonated. Nothing distracting here. The drinkability is great - pretty much depends on your sour tolerance.

This brew was just absolutely phenomenal. It was a revolutionary experience to me - every bit as powerful as my first few sips of craft brew were. Completely perspective-changing experience.

2003 vintage; Bottle into geuze glass at Bier Circus in Brussels

A - Pours clean golden brown with minimal head and spare carbonation.

S - Very musty with hints of citrus. Very nice.

T - Intensely dry tartness, with a lemony aspect. Nice dry earthiness and horse blanket funk. I had a fresh batch at the brewery, and while that was very good, this is a whole different level. I think the fresh batch is more refreshing, but the depth of flavors and intense tartness of this vintage is pretty spectacular.

M - Medium mouthfeel, but very crisp, tart and dry throughout.

O - Having the fresh and aged bottles close together gives me a great appreciation for aging geuze, as this was excellent.

2004 bottle, label says "Organic Gueuze" with an image of a copper mash tun and poppies in a wheat field.

Photo: http://www.sheltonbrothers.info/images/beers/Cantillon_Organic_Gueuze.jpg

Poured into a tumbler, the deep orange body is slightly hazed, but with no visible sediment. It formed a nice head and surprisingly 20 minutes later it hasn't broken. The foam had a very creamy texture. The aroma was a little different than the current "Classic Gueuze", with orange peel and definitely some orange yogurt wafting up. With a swirl there was the more typical sharp acidic note. The first sips felt soft, time seems to have mellowed it's sharpness, though it was still puckeringly sour. Orange and lemon rind, with all the succulence of sucking on a peach pit that still has fruit clinging to it. Definitely soft and peachy. Savory cheese notes come out in a longer draw. It's an ethereal experience, i'll be sad when this bottle is gone!

Served from 750 mL bottle into wine glasses.

A: Light orange, opaque. Small, white head.

S: Mmm... Can't wait to drink. More floral funkiness than usual from a gueuze (and if I remember correctly, more floral than the standard Cantillon gueuze). Very pleasant.

T: Such a great balance of lambic funk, sourness, and fruitiness. Delicious and complex.

Don't approach Cantillon's gueuze as you would a regular beer or you may be in for a shock. I've had gueuzes before, and they've never really done much for me. Their vinegary sourness seemed off-kilter and one dimensional, but you won't find that here. Cantillon's version is like a wonderfully dry white wine of the highest calibre.

Hazy gold pour with a bubbly white head. Retention and lacing is very good for the style, and rings of white lace are deposited on the sides of the glass. The nose is musty and redolent of horse blanket and lemon. The cobwebs of the brewery seem to revel in its funky aroma. The flavour leaves a dominant impression of fresh lemon juice, funk, wet hay and a warm yeastiness. Its just like a sour and dry white wine. Wonderfully, puckeringly delightful and refreshing, the body is in perfect sync, with its lightness and spritzy carbonation. Cantillon have stolen my heart and made me reassess gueuze. The price was well worth paying.
