Iris (2015)

Lambic - Traditional

Instead of using a traditional 35% wheat base, Iris is brewed entirely with pale malt. It is hopped with a 50/50 blend of both aged and fresh Hallertau hops and is then barreled for approximately two years. After the maturation period, Iris is "cold hopped" with fresh Saaz hops one more time before bottling to give it a fresh-hop bitterness and aroma.

Satan! Denne har jeg faktisk smakt i 2015 da den var fersk. Den var sinnssyk da, men enda bedre ni år senere. Mye mer moden, helt vilt kompleks. De har dette på tapp!

Cripes. Dry, floral and smooth. Not scoring as a complimentary taster.

Keg. The tiniest of tasters (£19 a third). Dry. Smooth extremely good

From the cellars of Cask for their 15th birthday. At £57 a pint possibly the most expensive craft beer I've ever had but it's exquisite. One to be savoured.

This could be the single most expensive 1/3 pint I have ever purchased. According to the bar staff it’s been sitting on site since 2015

Glass on the right. Dry, fairly bitter, tannic and a bit funky.

I shook up the sediment by accident when I opened it. Dropped the base on the table, and it overflowed. Low sourness, medium funk. Citrus, earthy, wet wood, malt sweetness, present hops that lend a slight bitter finish. Very different cantillon variant.

Last honeymoon bottle? I like it more than previous check ins though iris always has a weird chlorine kinda flavor. Regardless, 8 year old bottle hangin tuff per usual Cantillon standards.

Loverly, as aged Iris can be. Bitter and floral, mildly sour.

Some serious funk on the outer end of this cap, but the inside was immaculate! First time drinking Iris, and it was an absolute delight.

It’s lost most of its carbonation with age, but still good.
