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.

Lemon zest, stable, very slight note of white wine vinegar. Some green hoppy notes as well. Tartness is well balanced. Very good!

Very traditional geuze with dry mouthfeel and notes of lemon zest, grapefruit and hops. Surprisingly hoppy, even. Very juicy, not super tart. Delicious.

Wow. Gentle apple with mild yet obvious yeasty acidity. Light body. Earthy notes, then apple and a light maybe berry ester tone and a dryish finish.

Flowery slightly minty nose. Gentle fruit flavors. Dry but not tart at all.

Dry crisp elderberry interlaced w honeysuckle on the nose moving to lightly bready, but in all the good ways, mouthfeel. Finish is supple w hints of honey & a kiss of Iris like bitterness. This is complex!

Here I am in a car park in the St. Gilles region of Brussels trying the 2023 release of this for the Zwanze Parade. Grassy, tart and super fresh.

Lambik met verse hop. Zeer mooie ongewone combinatie.

Strange Cantillon flavor profile, very different from geuze and kriek. Very dry with more cheese funk than a Campbelltown malt. I like it but I wouldn’t buy it.

写真ブレた。白ブドウの皮にfunkyさが合わさったような匂い。酸っぱさはそこまででもなく熟成で円熟味。後の方でかなりヨーグルト味したので追記。
