Pours fizzy at first, than it settles into hazy orange. Hop and cognac tones.
Tart and complex (but not my favourite style)

Bottle. L:Hazy golden funk. S: Matured. Sour apple. Small smokeiness. T: Fruity! Sour berries. Orange cest. The aftertaste has more bitterness than your regular geuze, touches of hops and bourbon. Tart. O: Big bodyfor this kind of beer. Really good! The use of the cognac barrels really adds depth and complexity, and also some drinkability!

One of the best guezes I have ever had. The chracteristics of the beer type is still there, but the acidic taste blends with sweet and darker nuances from the cognac barrels. Maybe it was just me being happy that day, but I thought this beer to be more than splendid.

750ml. shared a while back. Pour was hazy gold/amber with tons of foamy white head. Aromas of cognac, tart sour, and musty funk. Flavor was much of the same from what I recall. I need to try again and rerate, but at $27 a pop I dont know if I will.

My Bottom Line:
Dusty lambic funk massages this Lambic’s citrusy sourness, while white wine sweetness relaxes into a nearly oily sipper of a mouthfeel.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam surrounds the hazy blond.
-This does not taste like a lambic blend (so does not recall a Gueuze), but is rather redolent of a single lambic batch.
-This is sweeter than the usual Cantillon lambic, but balance is still achieved.
-Carbonation is quite low.
