2012 Bottle as part of a sour tasting night

A - Dark hazy golden orange with a nice one finger white head

S - Lots of peach and apricots that lend a light sweetness to the nose

T - Tart lemon up front with lots of lactic acid. The peach comes thru in the middle to give it a sweet presence but the strongest flavor is definitely the tartness.

M - Lots of carbonation with a dry finish. Fits the flavor and the tartness well

O - Solid apricot / peach lambic that balances the light sweetness of the fruit with the tartness for the lambic. The tarter aspects defintiely dominate compared to the other flavors.

From a 750 ml bottle into a tulip.

A-The brew is cloudy and light golden apricot in color. A thin white head drops quickly to patchy cap of foam. A few streams of carbonation are visible.

S-The smell has strong apricot, as you would expect, to go along with the mild, earthy funk. There is a mild sweetness here that balances the sour white grape and vinous acidity. Quite tart.

T-The taste also has heavy doses of apricot. The funk remains mild, and sort of in the background; it works well with the apricot flavor. The sour factor is pretty high here, but there is a lemon-drop type of sweetness that keeps the brew from being a pure mouth-puckerer. The finish is quite long and vinous.

M-The carbonation is fine and more assertive here than in some other Cantillons. That assertive carbonation works well with the tartness of the beer and keeps it lively and crisp-drinking.

O-This is close to my favorite Cantillon and close to my favorite beer. The apricot integrates so well with the standard gueuze/lambic flavors...much better than cherry or raspberry, in my opinion. The result is balanced, complex, bracingly tart, drinkable, and delicious.
