Commercial Description:
In March 2005, the brewery Cantillon had bought second hands barrels in the region of Cognac. For 15 years, the wood had been impregnate with cognac. Then for 2 years, our lambic has extracted all the flavors and aromas to make a unique gueuze. The name comes from the geographic location of the brewery.

hazy nectarin pour with minimal white head. Beautiful tartness on the nose, white grapes, wood. Nice tartness up front, wonderful tanic woodiness, the cognaic is dying down a little bit. Leaves a great woody tanic taste on the finish.

Bottle. Thank you for sharing this one ChristianScheffel. Pours cloudy golden coloured with a small egg white head. Aromas of vinegar, stinging spice, dust, lemons and wood. Tart flavour with notes of sour lemons, wood, funk and spice. Great gueuze.

This beer is yellow and looks like it smells: horse piss. Someone must have collected a lot of horse piss at a polo match then bottled with up. There’s also some kind of weird BO smell that reminds me of the time I went to a Flea Market and found someone who had a whole case of Ballantine Burton but the person had this weird stench that I could taste even when I breathed out of my mouth but it was worth it because I bought a case of Ballantine Burton for $12.00. That experience was a lot better then this which was just a weird beer that smelled and tasted like a horse pissed in a bottle then someone farted out some broccoli stink in your vicinity when you tried it.

Bottle from WTF OMG tasting. Pours a cloudy golden yellow color topped by a small white head that settles to a thin film of bubbles. The aroma shows a nice blend of sour lemons, tart green apples, and tart peaches. The signature funk is there to go with some dry yeast. The flavors are very tart with apples, peaches, grapes, and lemons all coming together with the oak and a touch of lactose to sweeten things up. Medium bodied with ample carbonation and a very dry finish from the yeast. Really nice and tart lambic with great fruit flavors.

Bottle @ WTF OMG! Poured a hazy deep yellow. Nose was sour acid, sour grapes, unripe fruit, apple skin, lemon, funky cheesey, fresh cut wood. Flavor was a mild tart, fruit skin, apple, funk, brett, wood. Absolutely beautiful.

0.75 l bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Hazy deep golden color. Sour, grapefruity and lemony aroma with vanilla. Very acidic and sharp lemony, grapefruity and peppery flavor. Oily slightly oaky mouthfeel. Excellent! Oily palate and oaky finish give Cantillon gueuze an extra dimension.

Cloudy orange with a lasting white head. Funky leather and grapefruit aroma, but with complex nutty wood notes and rather distinct cognac notes. Tart and complex acidic flavour with sweetish cognac notes. One of the smoothest and most pleasant Cantillons I have had.
