Description
Cantillon Crianza Helena is a gueuze bottled in 2008. It is a blend of 40 month lambic from a new cognac barrel, 30 month lambic from a bordeaux barrel (for sweetness), and 15 month young lambic.
History / Other Notes
This gueuze was bottled on behalf of the owners of De Heeren Van Liedekercke ("DHVL") to mark the occasion of the birth of their daughter. Both 37.5cl and 75cl bottles were available for on-site consumption at the restaurant and 75cl bottles were also available for takeaway. Cantillon provided DHVL with unlabeled bottles; the label design and it's application was performed later.
Unsubstantiated Stories
Some people have claimed that Jean Van Roy has said that he did not bottle the beer in 37.5cl bottles.
