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 the second batch 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 was 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 was still available for purchase on premises.

Unsubstantiated Stories

Some report that Systembolaget did actually sell a small quantity of the original 1999 run of bottles at the time through the Swedish alcohol stores.
