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.

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.

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.

2011 bottling, big funky nose, lemony, rotting orange, some green grape. Flavor is acetic and lemony, orange, leather and funk. Still drinking well.

Delightfully bright with a mild tang, a slight tartness and just overwhelmingly delicious.
