2019 bottle shared at Johnny's turns 30 ad hoc beer celebration. Bright orange color, small white lacing. Aroma is hayish, light distant yellow fruit like an unripe nectarine, funky. Flavor is similar. Incredibly balanced, superbly suitable mouthfeel. Fantastic beer.

1996 bottle generously opened by Will Shelton, 2/25/05. The cork all but disintegrated and we ended up having to punch much of it down in to the beer, but it broke cleanly and there were no cork pieces left floating.
To be honest, I found this to be pretty on par with what I would expect from an aged bottle of Cantillon Gueuze. Sourness toned down, with a lower amount of carbonation (though the Loerik, of course, had much less than I would have expected) and a mellow yeastiness with light acidity. Aroma is mild and lightly brett-like, with dusty, old yeast and mild horse blanket. Some lightly sweet malt is still apparent in the aroma as well. Flavor begins with light citrus and plenty of funky, lightly cheesy yeast. Departs from a younger Cantillon Gueuze with less bold, sharp tones, but it also had a distinct flavor that I could best describe as juicy apples and woodiness. It was highly pleasant and brought forth visions of an ancient apple orchard. Finish dosent quit or water down, and there is a delicious, lip-smacking malt and woodiness with that wonderful aged, mellow yeastiness. Appearance wise, it was a lightly rusty orange-golden, with a small white head that rapidly recedes to a small ring of bubbles and then nothing.

Bottle at home in Hackney. Picked up from Beer Merchants Tap. Pours perfectly clear orange-gold with a modest, creamy white topping. Clean and pale woody, modest funk, stable acidity, some grassy bite, dry, nips of lemon. Light bodied with delicate, massaging carbonation. Clean finish, tart and dry, a little acetic burn, more pale wood, soft grassy bitterness. Wildly drinkable.

2018 vintage. Funky, tart and sourish with some earthiness and hints of floral notes and farmyardy notes. Quite balanced gueuze, but nothing that special
