Brabantiæ (1991)

Lambic - Gueuze

Brabantiæ is a gueuze that was finished in Port wine barrels, and made to honor the Belgian King Baudouin (7 September 1930 – 31 July 1993). It was released for the Koningsfeesten (King's Celebrations) in 1991. History / Other Notes Jean-Pierre brewed three batches of lambic (November 1987, February 1989, and January 1990). He first aged this lambic in 650-liter wine barrels ("pijpen" or "pipes") from Spain. Next, the batches were finished in Old Tawny Superior Port barrels from Portugal. Francis De Hondt requested that Cantillon create a special cuvée to honor King Badouin (also Duke of Brabant) to celebrate the Koningsfeesten. This particular anniversary was special as it represented a triple anniversary for the King.

Flasken var ikke helt der, kork falt nedi. Men absolutt grei å drikke. Men mest for gøy! No rating

Completely gone and impossible to get any barrel in there. Also very sour. Super sour. Leather at nose and vinegar too good for my salad with an incredible lemon party (well, not the party you used to search on the internet).

Not horrible but not nearly on the level of the “good” bottles from back in the day. A fun tick to revisit!

The cork fell into the bottle. Surprisingly carbonated for only having the cap in tact.

1989. Musty, musty, musty. Lemons maybe too. Lip puckering acid.
