2005 bottle at Akkurat. It pours clear gold, with a quickly dissipating white head. The nose is sweet-sour grapes, fairly obvious alcohol presence, sweet tinned melon and pear, boozy raisin, damp wood and cognac notes. The taste is sweet grape, sour fruit, sticky dessert wine, dried apricot, melon, acidic, alcohol, grapefruit, lemon, hay, oak, a touch of almond/marzipan and cognac, with a tangy, sour finish. Medium-full body and high, spritzy carbonation. Complex for sure, but it doesn’t all meld together perfectly for me. Rather acidic and yet at the same time somewhat sweet. It’s also a bit boozier than I prefer my sours! Unusual and unique.

Bottle @ Akkurat. Fairly clear golden appearance with a dying, off white head. Fairly boozy, rich grape, cognac, vinous, plum, a bit funky flavor. Tangy, rich lemon, tart berry, mild champagne, rich fruity, vinous flavor with a tart, grape, somewhat boozy finish. Really strong alcohol for a sour.

Bottle at Akkurat, shared with tarheels86 and omhper, thank you gentlemen! Golden color (no kidding), no head or lacing. Aroma of tangerellos, white grapes and perfume. Taste is dry white wine, straw. Decent.

Bottle @ Akkurat. Lots of stuff going on in the aroma. Funky apple and a certain tartness. The taste is very complex. Bourbon sweetness, the fruitiness of a cider and the vinous bitterness from grapes. Not as sour as many other Cantillon beers.

Shared a bottle at Akkurat together with finol and hirigalzkar. The color was gold-like, almost no head to talk about. The aroma was fantastic! Not too easy to describe. Vibes of wine, green apples, citrus, cellar. Taste was perhaps not quite as wonderful as the aroma but still very, very good! Not as sour as a regular Cantillon Gueuze, this was clearly a bit milder. My first spontaneous thought when I tasted the beer was that it tasted a little like a swimming pool. Somewhat bizarre, but so be it. Sweet tones. Citrus, apples, some wood also. Complex but still easy to drink. The body felt heavy compared to an ordinary Gueuze. Initially, I felt none of the alcohol, but then it did come with a pleasant warming effect. A great beer!

Bottle at Akkurat. Looks like apple juice with almost no head. Aroma of apples, root cellar and petrol. Sour, burbon and seaweed. Tastes a bit like a crossover between a beer, wine, cider and whiskey. Smoother and sweeter mouthfeel than expected.

Bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm
Hazy dark blond color; small ring of foam. The aroma is a perfect mix of aged Lambic and Sauternes-like wine; light rubber; it gets more winey and even cheesy if possible; and much later, light oxidized wine. Good body strength, almost round body, as far as possible for a Gueuze, woody astringency and tannins, medium sourness, an impression of grapefruit. Long citrusy sourness in the final, and increasing astringency. It takes time before feeling some alcohol warmth.
