Cantillon Gueuze 100% Lambic-Bio (Organic Gueuze)
Certainly one of Cantillon's softer beers, the Organic Gueuze is pretty straightforward with predominant flavors of lime zest, orange, and lots of fresh leafy herbs like parsley and sage. Not paricularly musty, but spritzy on the nose -- getting denser and more mouth-watering with some time in the glass. The finish is strange, very drying with good salinity, but also leaving some dead weight in the middle of the tongue. Though not entirely complex, this is very characteristic of gueuze and done with impeccable refinement. Not as fruity as Lindeman's Cuvee Renee, as bright as Girardin, or as tart and crisp as Hanssens, but still one well at home in the canon of Belgian beer. Relax, relax. ng
