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.

Bottle.

A- Dark red color, hazy liquid, no head.

A- Raspberry candy.

F- Raspberry, faintly sweet, slightly acidic, mild funk.

P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.

O- Accidentally allowed this to briefly freeze, oops. I don't think it impacted the flavor much but you never know. This was a 2022 vintage with 3 years of age. Really nice. Raspberry is the star, I did expect a bit more brightness or funk to it but who know what would've come with some more age.

Lovely. Lots of stone fruit, like a slightly woodier, spicier fou foune. Elegant complexity, drying finish.

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.
