Brasserie Cantillon Cantillon Gueuze Gueuze at 5.0% ABV
Pours a slightly cloudy golden amber with a short head diminishing immediately to a thin skim, no lacing. Nose is slight barnyard funk, woody notes, apple and citrus. Taste is tart and sour, funk, and citrus. Medium body and low but sustained carbonation, puckering and dry finish.
Bloody marvellous. Tangy and tart, with a pleasant funk. The standard by which gueuze is measured, and with good reason. I don’t see how this can be given anything but full marks.
My 96th from the 2010 Edition of 1001 Beers, 90th by the 2013 Edition, and 99th overall.
