Cuvée de l’Espérance

Lambic - Gueuze

In November 2019, Brewery Cantillon partnered with Brews for New Avenues to create a unique blend. The result is a mix of equal parts one, two, and three years old Lambic with the third year being aged on Cognac barrels. 100% of the proceeds go to New Avenues for Youth to help homeless and at-risk youth. www.brewsfornewavenues.org

Super mellow & young for a Lambic. Both funk & acidity are minimal. Definitely thinking the 3 year old Cognac part of the blend will develop over time.

Happy Zwanze Day everyone! Thanks erich r. for the bottle and hosting! Nose is musty and filled with vinous goodness. Body has accents of cognac interwoven between leathery funk and hay notes. Excited to spend the day with some awesome people!

A beautiful expression with notes of dried and stewed fruit, orchard hay, crisp McIntosh apples, and toasted sesame seed all cut with a very quaffable acidity and carbonation - could solo the bottle no prob. Should age gracefully

Stevedore

Very nice twist without going too heavy. Classic Geuze presence throughout with a bit more of a slick, fortified spirit sweetness lingering on the backend, leather and funk. Light acidity, slightly heavier body than usual. A fun take on a classic.

Bottle pour. Very, very enjoyable. I like the slight heaviness on the backend that adds an extra dimension to the classic geuze.

Guided tasting with Jean Van Roy. This is great already. Soft acidity, fruity and complex for a beer so young. Clear hints of cognac in the smell and just a bit in the taste. Decanted for 30 mins. “Like a mix of GCB and 50N” (not direct quote).

Unbelievablely delicious. Funk factor on point. Aroma hints that it will be harsh on the palate, but it's gentle and delicate.
