Bottle at BXLBeerfest Cantillon tasting, 6% ABV. Pours hazy orange. Aroma is fruity, vinous, oak. Later when it warms up the aroma is straight up curry! Flavor is sour, bitter, hint of sweetness, brettm oak, vinous. Feels really complex. Overall: great.

Bottle pour at Quintessence 2018. Hazy deep yellow with a frothy offwhite head. Lovely gueuze nose with just the right amount of intriguing wine character. Almost the noble rot grape kind. More funk than I'd expect from Cantillon which I love. Balanced sour and fruity taste with a hint of residual fruity sweetness still lingering. Tart and slightly dry mouthfeel with balanced mellow carbonation. Absolutely lovely! Need to search out this wine thingy they've used.

Quintessence. Unclear golden. Funk, white wine barrels, nuts. Medium, quite acidic but not too much. Low wine flavours, but still a good balance. A tad too acidic. Very good.

Sample from bottle. Hazy golden with white head. Very grape forward with grape most, citrus, barnyard funk and oak. Some nutty notes at the end. Great beer!
