Cantillon Chouke is a gueuze bottled by Cantillon in 37,5cl and 75cl bottles as well as 20L kegs. It consists of equal parts 1-, 2-, and 3-year old lambics with the entirety of the 2-year component being lambic aged in Armagnac barrels. It is listed as 5.5% ABV.
Chouke was blended in the winter of 2016. The 75cl bottles and 20L kegs are for on-site consumption at Les Brigittines restaurant, while the 37,5cl bottles are for on-site consumption at Pistolet Original, both in Brussels. Chouke was the first known lambic to be released from Cantillon that has a portion of lambic aged in Armagnac barrels. The word chouke in the Brussels dialect of French is an affectionate name given to someone special.

37,5cl Bottle @ Pistolet, Brussels. Bottled 2022. Pours cloudy Golden amber with a White head. Dirty glass I could tell. Tried to rinse it with water - 2nd pour became much better. Beware: I see most posts on social media with same issues from Pistolet. Going across the World to taste new Cantillon and Dirty glassware is like a disaster. Anyway. Bright, lemon, citrus, barnyard. Funky. Super drinkable. Reminding me of L.P.G. Super!

375mL bottle at Pistolet, pours a clear bright golden with a small, bubbly white head. Aroma brings out a bright lemon tang, moderate barnyard funk, and gentle champagne-like effervescence. Flavour is tangy, with lots of citrus peel, gentle barnyard funk, and a touch of champagne-like effervescence. Lemony, lightly funk, and bright. Refreshing and nicely made.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow pour with a white head. Mild barnyard bouquet. Good carbonation, with big bright lemon zest, citrus, barnyard, and funk. Subtle barrel, fortified wines, and oak. Great body and mouthfeel.

Hype is w miare real, lepsiejsze od podstawki canti, juz wytrawne, wyraznie fajnie, sianowato-skorzano dzikie, sporo owocowosci agrestowo-cytrynowo-jablkowej, jeden z bardziej rzeskich blendow, duza pyszka

Flaska på Pistolet, Bryssel. Vintage 2018. Guldig med vit krona. Frisk, pigg, något skarpare. Mycket stall, funk, citron och citronskal. Lätt bitande syra, något spritsig med äppelkärnor och äppelskal. Mycket gott och uppfriskande! Drickvänligt.
