Cantillon 50°N-4°E
From Cantillon – 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.

Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Barnyard funk, lemon and perfume.
Taste: Astringent tannins and sour funk. Not much malt presence. Finishes pretty bitter.
Mouthfeel: Puckering, astringent with moderate fizz.
Overall: The cognac barrel treatment along with this particular wild yeast strain made this very earthy and bitter, I’d have to try more of this to see if I like it or not.
