Our homage to Cantillon 50 Degrees North 4 Degrees East. 2 year old unblended lambic aged in a Brandy barrel. This unique lambic is the fruit of a collaboration between Funk Factory Guezeria, O'so Brewing and Old Sugar Distillery.

375ml bottle. Brewed in 2012, put into brandy barrels 2013, aged for one year, then bottled in 2014. Served in a plastic cup (oye!) for on-premise consumption 5/7/2016.
Pours a slightly hazy medium yellow body with an orange hue, one finger white head with fine retention time, a little bit of a collar, not so much lacing. Smells of deep brandy-soaked oak, moderately sweet distilled brandy, a bit of leather, cereal grain, wheat, lemon. It's fairly heavy on the brandy and overall a major difference compared to say, Dweller on the Threshold. Flavour is a moderately heavy brandy barrel presence, as in the nose. Oak, a bit of leather, sweet brandy, enough that you feel the slightest alcohol burn as you sip on it. Wheat, a bit of lemon, cobwebs. It's an overall different beer than all of the others with a really nice complexity. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, substantial, presumably from the brandy. Good carbonation, a refreshing sipper. Overall- a nice homage to 50N4E with quite a bit of sweet brandy aroma and flavour. To compare with 50N4E b2, this blend has quite a bit more of the brandy incorporated into the aroma and flavour, almost to the point where it was dominating. 50N4E did have a noticeable cognac presence but that complemented the lambic funk more than anything else; adding more complexity and funk. A really nice chance to try one of Mr. Funk's best non-fruited blends, and I look forward to the next one.

The aroma hits of traditional Belgian funk and big lemon with some stone fruit.
The flavor follows with a familiar Cantillon sharpness of funk and tart. The heavy funk continues along with some lemony tart. The beer then transitions to a smoothing out of the brandy instead of continuing to tart out.
A beer that is extremely impressive in living up to the classic lambic/gueuze of Belgian.
