Lambic - Traditional

In March 2005, the brewery Cantillon had bought second hands barrels in the region of Cognac. For 15 years, the wood had been impregnated 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.

Funky lemon and apple tartness up front with a oaky/woody finish. There's just a hint of sweetness that I assume comes from the cognac barrel aging.

Usually Im not a fan of spirit barrelled lambic but this is lovely. Superb balance, acidity. Barrel compliments rather than adding confusion. Very good beer.

2020. Such a subtle tartness on this. Too drinkable at 7%. Get some of the cognac barrel on the nose and finish. Wish I had more!

2019 batch. Barrel forward, slighlty buttery. Incredibly smooth. Some oilyness. Tannic and slightly vinegary with a subtle sweetness.

Checking in the unreleased 2020 version which was partially aged in Rum barrels. No rum noticable. Still quite young. Not as sweet or barrel forward.

New upcoming 2020 batch, with a small portion aged in a rum barrel, very little though. Still there is a bit of extra caramel/molasses sweetness compared to previous batches which might lead you to think it's there, but it's also pretty young.

(2018) 😳 This is...superbly easy drinking. An ever-so-slight funk presence. Light stone fruit and grapes.

2018 bottling. Quite honestly I was a bit disappointed. Almost totally flat, barely any funk, some slightly vinegary sourness but not so sour, not much in the way of aromatic fruitiness from the lambic either. Barrel character was very nice.
