Cantillon Soleil De Minuit
Description
Cantillon Soleil De Minuit is a lambic with cloudberries added bottled exclusively for Akkurat containing 300 grams per liter of fruit. For the first batch, fresh cloudberries were added directly to the oak barrel with two year old lambic poured on top. The process was repeated for batch two using frozen cloudberries added to a single oak barrel. It is available in 37.5cl, 75cl, and 1.5L bottles. As of 2014, the barrel that previously held batch two of Soleil De Minuit now contains unblended lambic.
History / Other Notes
Soliel de Minuit made its debut in 1999. It was released to Akkurat in three sizes, all of which came with a paper wrapping the bottle. Due to Sweden's alcohol control system, Systembolaget, the beer is not available to go. In 2013, after many rumors, Soleil de Minuit was made again and sent to Akkurat just as before. As of 2014 it is still available for purchase on premises.
Unsubstantiated Stories
Some have claimed that through Systembolaget a small quantity of the original 1999 run of bottles were released for sale at the time through some Swedish alcohol stores.
