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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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