Cuvée Saint-Gilloise (Champions) (2017)

Lambic - Traditional

A new brew concocted by Jean Van Roy to celebrate the 2003-2004 Division III title for the local Union St. Gilles football team and its upgrade to Division II. Cuvee des Champions is not a traditional ’gueuze,’ in that it is made from only two year-old 2001 lambic, not from a blend of older and younger lambics. It is also dry-hopped in the cask for three weeks with fresh Styrian Goldings hops. Re-fermentation in the bottle is achieved with the addition of a small amount of candi sugar.

Fantastic. Very floral and slightly bitter. Just gets better as it warms in the glass. The presence of hops is just perfect.

This vintage is really hitting its stride right now. Bright hoppy character (some citrus notes) combined with classic cantillon funk

Hints of poo-ish funk to go with the usual grapefruity character.

A great beer for a great team, always a joy this one. A tart treat, smoothing out in the cellar

The absence of a third year lambic in this does it no harm. Horse blanket, old oranges and a bit of slate. Not overly though provoking but that’s not a bad thing. Missed the batch number though…

LCI. Blind share. Surprised how much I enjoyed this. Looking forward to to seeing how different vintages develop over time. Mild bite, dry, barrel thin funk
