Packed in green 26-ounce wine bottle with difficult cork set up, tangy apricot wine-like parfait features highly carbolic orange peel waft, tender barleymalt sweetness, and sinewy yeast buttering. Sour apple-cranberry tartness clasps dry wheat backbone.

CANTILLON GUEUZE LAMBIC
Stylistically on the mark as brettanomyces-stricken cork-bottled Belgian sour ale. Utilizing wine-soured double fermentation, skanky dry fruited waft heightens vinous white peach, yellow grape, and green apple tartness above musty barnyard funk. Grassy-hopped horseblanket dryness saddles mineral-watered crispness. Tart green-yellow grape pucker may overwhelm its essence. Too soft to compete big time.
CANTILLON BRUOCSELLA 1900 GRAND CRU
(HANSSENS) MEAD THE GUEUZE
By blending Hanssens tartly tannic gueuze with British winery’s honeyed mead, silky barnyard-dried hybrid settles to gossamer lemon-soured cider tartness. Unripe peach-pear-melon mouthfeel, sharp sour grape continuance and grassy herbal mustiness consume puffy cumulous-headed translucent yellow belly. Bubbly carbolic fizz could be obtrusive. Pour into glass to delete coarse vinous attribute.
