2008 Bottle.

A: Vibrant apricot orange/yellow. Hazy. Small white head that dissipates quickly.

S: Citrus funkiness. Mainly funk and a bit of hay. A bit of tart apple and some fresh oak. Tobacco comes out as it opens up and the citrus dies down.

T: Layers of flavor. Sour and just a tiny touch of sweetness. Citrus sourness, very tart cherries and lots of barnyard funk. Sourness develops into tangy apples. Very complex and very smooth finish.

M: Medium body. Very low carbonation, it does pick up a bit when agitated. Very slick feeling.

O: Good drinkability. A phenomenal sour. I can see why Cantillon is so sought after. Had this on tap once in Chicago and it's good as I remember it being. Wish I could get this even every once in a while.

375ml bottle, dated December 3, 2010, poured into a Cantillon signature gueuze tumbler.

The beer pours a slightly hazy copper color, hues of gold, straw and orange with a lovely, billowing white head, fizzy yet soapy that has moderate retention leaving a few spots of lace behind. The aroma is a nice, lots of funk, wildflower, light citrus, white peppercorn with a touch of sweet pale grain. It's delicate and complex, but it's note quite as refined as a Drie Fonteinen gueuze. The flavors are nice, lots of wild funk, grapefruit and lemon citrus with a host of floral attributes, spicy peppercorn with some lively yeast flavors. The body is lively, effervescent, delicate and playful and it has a nice easy finish.

Verdict: A wonderful gueuze from Cantillon and one of the finest gueuzes available. I personally prefer the gueuzes from Drie Fonteinen but find that Cantillon makes the superior fruited lambic, but this gueuze is nothing to scoff at, a delight to drink.

750ml bottle, 2011 Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio

A: Hazy yellow/light orange color with a white head that quickly dissipates.
S: Lots of vinegar and citrus at first. Sour lemons, lactic acid, sweet wheatiness, some apples, some must and a lot of funkiness. Not as strong as I had imagined, but it smelled wonderful.
T: Mouth-puckering sourness. Earthy/musty flavor balanced with some wheat sweetness and lots of lemon acidity. A bit of green apples and apricots in there as well. Has a bit of a woody flavor at the end.
M: Light/medium bodied with decent carbonation. Could be a bit higher. Finishes very dry.
O: This is an amazing gueuze. I prefer the balance in this one compared to the funkier versions brewed up by 3F. Both are excellent though, and I will gladly drink either of them any day.
