belgians: cantillon gueuze

From BEER
this is another gueuze; a pure one this time. they follow the reinheitsgebot even if they don't mention it explicitly. that doesn't stop them from brewing a beer that tastes like stomach acid fresh lemons. even though it tastes pretty good once you accept that it's going to make you pucker, the acidity drives its drinkability through the floor. working my way through the bottle, i got the distinct impression that every sip was bringing my that much closer to an ulcer. truly, i am much impressed that such a cold one can be brewed under the reinheitsgebot, and i applaud the cantillon brewmaster for this feat of brewcraft and yeast catchery. but for the sake of my gi tract's pH, i won't be drinking it very often.
