Cantillon LH12
Description
Cantillon LH12 is a lambic that spent 5 years in cognac barrels prior to bottling. Unlike 50 Degrees North - 4 Degrees East, no additional priming sugar was added at bottling for refermentation and carbonation. As a result, LH12 pours completely still.
History / Other Notes
This beer was debuted at The Lambic Summit 2010. Additionally, LH12 bottles were briefly available for sale at Moeder Lambic in Brussels.
