The standard with cantillon. This is worth trying just for the nose. It explodes out of the glass. Perfume, raspberries, cherries, cream, insane. Palate coats every taste buds with fruit, sour lemonheads, just an crazy amount of raspberry and cherry flavor. Also some forest. Unbelievable. β 4 years ago
Happy belated Zwanze Day! Celebrating with this 2017 bottling of Cantillonβs Classic Gueuze. Over the years, I have drifted to be a little more fond of 3 Fonteinen but Iβm 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. β 7 months ago
Drank after a Boon Geueze (which I enjoyed) and it was far better, more refined and delectable. β 4 years ago

Enjoyable orange sparkling wine that tastes like a lambic beer. Oxidative and yeasty like beer, with a nice orange fruit flavor. β 7 months ago
Bottled 28 March 2018. Blend no. 42. Season 17/18. Shared by @Bryan Frey for a delicious nightcap and to honor Armandβs 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. β 3 years ago
So-much-fruit. Glad we drank this young. β 4 years ago
Antique gold with a tinge of pink gold shows an almost gelatinous opacity while flaunting a snowy cap. Pineapple leached of its rich sweetness meets the mouth evenly, and turns quickly to grapefruit pith, nectarine, sour orange, sour plum, salted lemon pulp and ruby grapefruit. All around a refreshingly tart take on the lambic style. Highly recommended for the hottest summer you got. β 5 years ago
