Style and Colour: Lambic Geuze with raspberries .
Taste: Beer with a tangy red fruit taste (200g of fresh raspberries per litre). This fruit geuze will present a maximum of "fruity" if you taste it young. On the other hand, age allows the lambic to express itself fully, to the detriment of the fruit.
Alcohol: 5.5 % ABV
Drinking Temperature: 6 - 7 ° C
Fermentation: The fruits are blended with a Lambic of 20 months of age on average, at a rate of 200 g of fruit per litre. Raspberry being a fragile fruit, the Lambic chosen is soft and delicate to match the fruit. After two to three months maceration, the Lambic will have extracted the colours, aromas and flavours of the raspberries. It will then be blended with a one-year-old Lambic, which will bring the necessary sugars for the second fermentation in the bottle. Contains only fresh fruit and as with wine, we can speak of a vintage effect for Cantillon beers. The weather plays a major role in the maturity and quality of the fruit, which is why a fruit beer will be slightly different from one year to the next.
The Brewery: Cantillon is a traditional lambic brewer and blender located in Anderlecht Brussels, founded in 1900 by Cantillon family. Since 1970, it is owned and led by Jean-Pierre Van Roy.
Origin: Lambic is a type of beer brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium southwest of Brussels. It is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts and bacteria.
Food: Pairs wonderfully with white cheese on bread.
