Bottle @ Cantillon. Hazy amber colour, white foam. Subtle carbonation. Very complex nose, lemon, barnyard, wood, armagnac. Taste is tart, light sweet, very funky. Wow, even better than te previous versions.

Thanks! Sampled two different 750 ml. bottles @ the brewery; Orange golden, white bubbles, uneven, largely on the side. Nose is super dirty Cantillon lambiek, bit dirty in a good way, grainy, cow fodder, lambiek feels rather old in a great way, cellar, cobwebs & what I take to be Armagnac on top, funk,… Intense in a great way. Taste is candied lemon, sweetish gunk, grainy ancient lambiek, cellar, oak, orange peel, almost marmalade hint, grainy, nicely dirty, oak, almost leather, what I take to be Armagnac… Lively carbonation & grainy. Intense, tasty stuff. Second bottle was a bit rounder, slicker, less raw, still highly tasting, ancient lambiek feel. Very tasty as usual I am in a minority here liking the Cognac version a bit more but that is pointless, irrelevant nit-picking between oranges & apples I suppose, highly tasty stuff, lovely as expected.

Pours rather clear blonde. Small white head. Smell is full, aromatic, almost creamy, armagnac and cantillon funk. Taste is sharp, acidic, bit vinegar, some armagnac, very woody. Immensely complex yet very balanced. A better version if the regular 50n

02/03/2018 - 75cl bottle shared by travlr @Cantillon. Dark golden colour with small white pearly head. Nose is fresh, green apples, grassy. Taste is refreshing, see this more in summer, not at these freezing temperatures, green apples, sour, bit lemon. Nice. Very delicate, less heavy than regular geuze. Could easily replace champaign.
