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.

Bottle. A golden beer with no head. The aroma and taste is of fruits, cognac, and it´s acid, dry and light sour. Medium body with a dry acid finish.

Picked up at the brewery. Pours a orangey gold with virtually no head. Aroma of lemon, yeast and fruity tartness. Flavor is sour, but not overwhelming.

Shared at Cleveland tasting 3/15 Thanks Mike, Bottle: Pours a hazy gold with a loose white head. Aroma, funk, some grapes, lemony, sour. Flavor, funky, lemony, some grape and fruitiness comes through from the cognac barrel I guess. Some woody notes, a tart and acidic finish. Excellent beer.

Bottled shared at the Cleveland tasting. Poured a very cloudy golden color with a hint of an off white head that receded rather quickly. Aroma is actually much sweeter than most cantillons...most likely from the cognac barrels. A very easy drinking gueuze with a nice full bodied and softly carbonated presence. A very solid gueuze that I enjoyed a whole lot. good stuff!

Tasting at Ølbaren 2008.03.11 - Thanks Fonefan for sharing. It’s hazy, warm golden with a small head. The aroma is sour with loads of citrus, including a lot of lime. The flavour is sour with somewhat sharp notes of grapefruit peel, but at the same time it’s smooth and vinous with notes of grapes. Normally Cantillion is too hard core for me, but I actually like this one!

Cask @ London drinkers Fest 2008. Shared with Mes and Carlus12. Nose of lambic; wild fermentation, malty, vinegar. Pours a clear amber coloured beer. Creamy, carbonated, soft, vinegar and yeast, fruity with a mild finish, Cognac come through the nose once the beer warms up somewhat and the pallette too although subtle. Brilliantly balanced.

75 cL bottle at Bier Circus. Pours almost golden orange, clear and with a little white head. Mild brett aroma, quite fruity and light. Dry. Flavour starts quite citric, light acidic touch and a dominant orange/citrus fruity flavour. Dry, light woody and mellow acidic finish. Continues with a nice lingering orange fruity flavour. Very smooth.
