This gueuze was bottled on behalf of the owners of De Heeren van Liedekercke to mark the occasion of the birth of their daughter. Both 37,5cl and 75cl bottles were available for on-site consumption at the restaurant and 75cl bottles were also available for takeaway. Cantillon provided De Heeren van Liedekercke with unlabeled bottles; the label design and it's application was performed later.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is very funk forward with nice must, earthy, herbal notes. Light lemon, pineapple and stone fruit notes. Solid grape must. Pours a hazy orange, with a medium large, thick, white head that recedes to the edges where it lingers. No lacing and small legs. Flavor is fairly acidic but not too harsh with lots of lemon, blue cheese, stone fruit, and grape must. Light earthy, herbal musty notes and a bit of a woody note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer, especially in the aroma. The flavor has a nice profile as well with classic older cantillon character.

Bottle brought by Phredrik to Dangerous Bottleshare WHLZBRZ-edition. Thank you so much for sharing this buddy. Pours hazy orange with a medium white head. This looks so good! Aroma hits you in the face with so much complexity right from the start. Right from the start it’s very funky, green tart apples, mold, red apples, red grapes, apricots, vinegary, cheese, gooseberries. Taste has lots of sour green apples, sweet red apples, elderflower, vinegary tart notes, citrus, lemon zest, cheesy funk, oak, hay and some tannins in the back. God damn, this is amazing. Best gueuze I’ve ever had for sure.
