Happy belated Zwanze Day! Celebrating with this 2017 bottling of Cantillon’s Classic Gueuze. Over the years, I have drifted to be a little more fond of 3 Fonteinen but I’m really splitting hairs. This is world class.

Popped and poured; crushed in 30min after doing the first yard work of 2024 and getting the hops trained to the trellis. The gueuze pours a brilliant golden color with a persistent head. On the nose, mostly tasty stone fruits: apricots, peach, kumquat, horse blanket, stony minerals. On the palate, the gueuze is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and refreshing. Drink now. — 4 days ago

Drank after a Boon Geueze (which I enjoyed) and it was far better, more refined and delectable. — 4 years ago

Enjoyable orange sparkling wine that tastes like a lambic beer. Oxidative and yeasty like beer, with a nice orange fruit flavor. — 18 days ago

Bottled 28 March 2018. Blend no. 42. Season 17/18. Shared by @Bryan Frey for a delicious nightcap and to honor Armand’s passing on 6 March. Just a perfectly balanced, funky, citrusy, earthy lambic. Best before 2038, but there is no way I could get my hands on enough to test that date as they would disappear well before then. — 2 years ago

Nose has sour apricots grated against musty old cellar barrels, fully saturated oak staves, bushel of ripe peaches, burnt caramel and brackish water.

Palate is fully loaded with citrus peel, grapefruit pith, peach peel, sour oak chips and tart apple cider.

What a performance today, just outstanding, amazing color, really improved with a couple more years of hiding.

Unbelievable. First time. So complex, so funky, so smooth, so fruity, it’s almost chewable. Totally meets expectations. One of the best beers in the world. As it warms and evolves, the amount of fruit is bonkers. Berries, plums, apples, grapes, juniper. Wow!!! Bottled 12/06/21 — 8 months ago
