Style and Colour: Lambic Gueuze. Also called Brussels Champagne.
Taste: Beer with a slightly acidic and fruity taste, delicate and woody fragrance and a dry finish that lingers on the palate.
Alcohol: 5.5 % ABV
Drinking Temperature: 12° C
Fermentation: Unique blend of five or six lambics of different ages. Bottles are positioned horizontally in a cellar and left to rest for an average of one year, this being the time required for the conversion of the sugars into carbon dioxide (secondary fermentation in the bottle). In this gueuze one can savour Cantillon's superior know-how perfected over more than a century.
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.
