CANTILLON ROSE DE GAMBRINUS 375ML BELGIAN

5% ABV, “it has the colour of onion skin," said a voice behind me. It was Raymond Coumans. He was admiring the colour of the raspberry lambic reflecting in the red copper of the buckets used to empty the barrels. At that time (1986), "Raspberry-Lambic" already was synonymous with a sweet, artificially flavoured beer. This is why we decided to distinguish our beer from the other raspberry beers. Raymond proposed to call it a rosé, dedicated not to Bacchus but to Gambrinus

CANTILLON FOU FOUNE 750ML BELGIAN

5% ABV, due to the success of our Provençal beer, 1200 kgs of apricots are delivered now every year to the Cantillon brewery. The fruits are stoned by hand before being soaked in 2 years old lambic. The beer extracts the taste and the aromas very quickly and the Fou'Foune is bottled after two months. The beer is rather sour, slightly turbid and has a pale gold colour. Its production is limited to 3000 liters a year. A large part of the bottles go back to the region where these apricots come from. People there consider the Fou'Foune Cantillon as a local beer

CANTILLON IRIS 750ML BELGIAN

5% ABV, the Cantillon brewery is closely linked to Brussels, a city which has the iris as its symbol. As the name indicates, the "marsh iris" is a plant growing in humid areas. The historical center of Brussels is built on swamps where this flower used to grow abundantly. In 1998, the Brussels Museum of the Gueuze celebrated its 20th anniversary. The Cantillon brewery decided to make a new spontaneous fermentation beer for this occasion, named after this symbolic flower. The Iris, which is only made with malt of the pale ale type (giving a more amber colour to the beer) conserves the typical flavour of the spontaneous fermentation, the complex aromas and the vinous taste. After two years in the barrel, the Iris undergoes a second fresh hopping two weeks before the bottling. A linen bag, filled with hops, is soaked in the beer for two weeks. This technique, called "cold hopping," gives the beer a more intense savour and makes the smell and the taste more bitter

HANSEN’S GUEUZE 375ML BELGIAN

6% ABV, hazy gold color and an aroma of wet wool, preserved lemons, vanilla, and earth. The palate is sharply tangy and dry, opening up to a marvelously complex display of citrus and damp earth in the center. The finish is miles long and juicily acidic, with a final flourish of fruit

HANSEN’S OUDE KRIEK 750ML BELGIAN

6% ABV, "the color is almost heartbreakingly stunning; reds, roses, pinks, and oranges, all at once, like a beautiful sunset. The aroma opens up with a barnyard gambit, but this quickly dissipates, allowing complex aromatics of cherries, wood, earth, vanilla, and mold to come through... The Finish is long, tart, fruity, and finally drying. An absolute masterpiece."

HANSEN’S OUDBEITJE 375ML BELGIAN

6% ABV, the strawberries announce themselves in the nose, where they mingle with aromas of earth, sharp cheddar cheese, vanilla, yogurt, and a Riesling-like petrol note.

MIKKELLER SPONTANEOUSLY FERMENTED ALES 375ML DANISH

7.7% ABV, Mikkeller’s first stab at spontaneously-fermented ales. Each beer was brewed according to Lambic tradition. During this aging process the fruit is dissolved into the liquid, pits and all, adding a nutty component to the palate. The process of spontaneous fermentation sets this style apart from other ales. After the wort is brewed it is exposed to wild yeasts in the air. These native yeasts impart the brilliant vinous acidity to the beer, well known in Lambics
