Cantillon Cuvée Saint Gilloise is a two year old lambic that is dry-hopped and bottled with a small amount of sugar-liquor to begin refermentation in the bottle. The dry-hopping happens in a stainless steal tank prior to bottling. It is bottled yearly in 75cl bottles, but has been available in 37.5cl on at least one occasion in 2010 and on tap at various locations. Cuvée Saint Gilloise is the successor to Cuvée des Champions and generally thought to be of the same line of lambics. The name and color scheme for the labeling is derived from the Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, a Belgian football club originally located in the municipality of Saint-Gilles, in Brussels near Cantillon. In 2013, Cantillon made a special bottling of Saint Gilloise in both 1.5L and 3L bottles for people who owned or purchased season tickets for the 2013-2014 season. Saint Gilloise is widely believed to be dry-hopped with Hallertau hops however Jean Van Roy confirmed that the hop varieties change based on availability and as they have sourced hops from different providers

Aus der Flasche (bottled 14.06.2025/bbe 14.06.2045) im 2025-08 getrunken. Dieses goldene Ale kommt mit einem deutlichen Hefe-Aroma daher. Nach hinten kommt eine feine Hopfenbitterkeit auf wodurch es an ein Saison ähnlich wird. Nur halt die leichte klassische Lambik Säure hebt sich davon ab.

Bottle, bottled 28 january 2022. Color: Hazy golden, nice long laating white head. Aroma: Fruity tartness, hay, some hop and subtle funk. Taste: Moderate tartness, fruity notes of citrus and grapes. Notes of hay, minerally notes. Combined with light hopbitterness and subtle rural funk. Very nice balance. Enjoying this fully on a hot summer evening on the garden terrace.

Draught at Lauter, almost no head, hazy deepish orange color, woody aroma with some varnish and a bit of fruitiness, sour fruity flavor especially white fruits, a bit of maltiness, medium strong fruity and lightly citrusy sourness with just a hint of bitterness. Nice and clean, surprisingly easy to drink.

Хороший сбалансированный ламбик в потрясающем пабе Пидорс. Супер баланс и приятное сено от пива подогрела музыка из первого фолыча которую поставил бармен на пластинке. Топ.

Funky, tart and sourish with some floral and farmyardy vibes. Complex and balanced, has aged nicely
