Description

Cantillon Cuvée Saint Gilloise is a 2-year-old lambic that is dry-hopped and bottled with a small amount of sugar-liquor to begin refermentation in the bottle. The dry-hopping happens in a stainless steal tank prior to bottling. It is bottled yearly in 750 mL bottles, but has been available in 375 mL on at least one occasion in 2010 and on tap at various locations.

History / Other Notes

Cuvée Saint Gilloise is the successor to Cuvée des Champions and generally thought to be of the same line of lambics. The name and color scheme for the labeling is derived from the Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, a Belgian football club originally located in the municipality of Saint-Gilles, in Brussels near Cantillon. In 2013, Cantillon made a special bottling of Saint Gilloise in both 1.5 L and 3 L bottles for people who owned or purchased season tickets for the 2013-14 season.

Cuvée Saint Gilloise received approved labeling for a draught version in the U.S. on April 15, 2011. [1]

Saint Gilloise is widely believed to be dry-hopped with Hallertau hops however Jean Van Roy confirmed that the hop varieties change based on availability and as they have sourced hops from different providers.[2]
