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.

How lovely! Dry-hopping is marvallously balancing the acidity in this one. Refreshing, quaffable and clean. Still feeling a slight barrel presence. Loving the dry finish. Highly enjoyable offering by Cantillon.

From 2015. Let the first pour sit to off gas. Absolute treat after all these years. Purchased in Belgium and traveled across the US twice. A real treasure 6 years later.

Nez: houblon, funky; bouche: attaque avec une legere acidité amer agreable puis un leger côté funky. Final avec une acidite et amertume un peu sèche en fond de gorge

Not as puckering as regular cantillon, but delicious and a nice lemon earthiness from the hops. Pre-Phish drink
