From miketd and recently also shared by Maxxdaddy, thank to everyone. The color seems a little bit more orange-ish than usual., has no head but a ring lacing. At first I notice a difference compared to the regular, does not seem, to be as acidic in the nose (still strong though), a bit of leafy oak coming through (again different). I get a bit of "heat" on the nose, not that I can directly call it a cognac aroma though. Some marmalade sourness and sweet-less fruit. taste is so subdued for Cantillon (almost at the Loerik level right now). Not at all as mouth puckering as most Cantillon. I get a good amount of earthy sourness but finishes only medium acidic (as opposed to a total onslaught). So easy to drink for such a sour brew. The barrel has really tamed this puppy.
750mL cap and cork (which was slimy and smelled weird), Rodenbach GC smaller tulip.
Matt shared this recently and it isn’t doing well, its very un-gueze-esque and a vegetal aroma, lifeless. it has even a little bit of sweetness in the flavor, some light oxidation, and super weird in general. Not aging well, take some points off the total score.
