Our BIÈRE DE COUPAGE, created for the 25th birthday of Cantillon’s Quintessence, is now available at our brewery shop!
This beer uses an ancient and typically Belgian technique called ‘coupage’: the blend of a sour beer with a young ale. The sour beer we used is 2-year-old Lambic from Cantillon. The result is a 6.2% abv amber beer, with an appealing tartness and a deep, complex vinous character.

Bottle at Monk's: pours light copper with whitish head. Aroma is light basement funkiness, mellow light citrusy notes. Taste is earthy and very slightly sour. Interesting mix of lambic and not. Funky aftertaste.

Quintessence Blend 2025. Nice brew, soft acetic accents, a little biscuit, mild citric tang, nips of leather, cracker, low acidity. Pretty smooth. A soft funk and vanilla note. Delicate carb. Moreish. Rather drinkable. Nice depth.

Bottle pour. Quintessence 25. From 330s I recall. Came with pork rillettes, of which I had many. Hazed pale amber. Thick swede. This I recall being a little on the sweet and rustic side.

Lichtbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is fruitig licht zuur met iets van druiven, citrus en wat rode wijn. Niet echt mijn stijl maar toch best goed.
