Cuvée Saint-Gilloise (Champions)

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.

A tart lambic with pleasant funky sour notes, and reportedly fresh (as opposed to aged) hops. Dry finish. Cantillon on tap is such a treat whenever you can find it in the US.

Oprecht een van mijn favoriete Cantillon bieren die ik tot dusver heb mogen drinken. De hop voegt echt iets toe. Heerlijk!!

I don't think I've had a Cantillon pour even half this size before. (missing a bit due to my priorities)

Zo he! Wat een bijzondere smaak! Dat gehopte geeft hem een bijzondere Twist. Bijna scherp aan de tong.

De hop maakt hem verrassend, al doet het ergens wat denken aan uierzalf. Geinig, maar niet enorm onder de indruk.

Interesting an unique. Was not expecting this. Hard to describe. Refreshing. I’ll describe it more usefully on second tasting. A bit of that pomegranate secondary taste.
