Description
Open the door of the 56 rue Gheude.
Cantillon ? That’s the time machine. You’ll leave the modern civilization, goodbye to the noise, goodbye to the world.

"But where are we ?", you will ask yourself.
Well, you are in a family brewery where Lambic, Gueuze, Faro and Kriek are made and where nothing has changed since 1900 when it was founded. The Van Roy-Cantillon family welcomes you and invites you to discover a fabulous world. Beers, tools and brewing process are still the same as in the beginning.

Red copper containers, barrels, some of them more than 100 years old, and walls of bottles constitute the scenery for your visit.

Maybe you’ll be lucky to see the brewing or the bottling, maybe you ’ll see how barrels are cleaned or how fruit beers are made in summer. Maybe you’ll be lucky to see the brewing or the bottling, maybe you ’ll see how barrels are cleaned or how fruit beers are made in summer.
Anyway, you’ll be able to taste a real traditional Gueuze-Lambic and if you would like to know more about the Kriek or the Framboise, just ask the brewer.

Draught at Lauter, smallish bubbly head, light cloudy Dee red colour with purple hues, aroma of plums, spice and a bit of wood and a whiff of varnish, vinous aroma, a bit of horse sweat and dark fruits, cherries and plums, medium slightly lactic sourness with a hint of sweetness. Highly enjoyable, very nicely balanced.

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.

0.75l bottle many thanks to Lore. Never heared about honeysuckle yet so I'm not sure how to look for this fruit. Beautiful ruby body with a huge pink head. Aroma and taste of hibiscus, red currant, hibiscus, lemon juice and even some saffron. Not so sour yet refreshing beer. Great one.
