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 from Raynville Superstore. It pours hazy deep orange with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is musty, funky, barnyard, grape, citrus peel, sherbet, fizzy cola bottles, vinous, damp wood and funk. The taste firmly dry, musty, damp leaves and wood, earthy, deep funk, brett, white grape, gooseberry, white currants and a touch of leather with a drying, funky finale. Medium body and average carbonation. Really got into this. Nice depth and funk.

330 ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange mahogany with light head but lots of carbonation. Aromas of earthy berries, citrus, a bit of caramel and toasted malts. Flavors of berries are brighter and tart but still somewhat earthy. Add oak, bitter citrus and softvtiasty malts. Quite nice.

Large sample from tap in the Admiral Benbow, Shrewsbury on 7th June 2025. Amber body, off white head. Too sour for me, still struggle with Lambic beers, I've tried to embrace them but can't. Scored objectively.

Pours dark, unclear amber. Small white head. Scent is rye-like, caramel, amber malty. Taste is bitter, dry, very crunchy ambermalts. Bit acidic. Higher carbo, fairly dry. A bit puzzling beer, that doesn't really go into a specific direction.
