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.

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…

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

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

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

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

Tjukk, fettete funk, grønt og en liten tur i skogen. Ikke like frisk som jeg husker de yngre typene

Super well aged beer. Exceptional fruitness and funk. Really nice taste of yellow stonefruits. Kot of layers but still very easy drinkable delicious blend.

Super vieillissement, au nez et en bouche ça donne des notes funk et anis mentholé. Chêne bien présent, acidité bien maîtrisée, grosse longueur en bouche

Underbar. Delikat med skön bakåtlutad funk med bara en hint syra men tydlig brett. En fröjd i värmen.

This is drinking amazingly at ~5y.o. Floral, muted hop profile, typical lemon/lime cantillon profile. Balanced acidity. some funk on nose and minerality on palate. Easy to drink this 75 all by myself!
