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.

2018 vacation souvenir. This has aged quite well, nicely balanced. It’s tart, funky & fruity with some apricot & lemon. Happy to with friends.

Aging nicely - this was a blind bottle, people guessed lambic overall with some in geuze and some on adjuncts

Yep, it's hoppy even after all these years. Grassy, floral earthy, grapey tones combined with aged lambik dryness and funk. And a very nice bitter background.

LCI. Very good, and I loved the use of this variant of Hallertau to make this all the more tasty and easy to drink. Nice spice, light herb, earth, grass, and light wood all factored in along w the expected floral, sour, and light funk flavors. 4.4

Hazy, straw color. Taste was citrus with a little funk. The hops provided a hint of spice and bitterness. Beautiful beer.
