== Description ==

Cantillon Super Gueuze is a gueuze ~~that was bottled~~ at ~~least once in 1983~~. It consists of 1, 2, and 3 year old ~~lambic~~ and was bottled in ~~75cl~~ and ~~37,5cl bottles~~.

Cantillon Super Gueuze is a standard gueuze using a different label for marketing purposes at several occasions over several years during the 1980s. It consists of 1, 2, and 3-year-old lambics and was bottled in 375 mL and 750 mL format. The term ‘Super’ does not designate anything different about this blend of gueuze, but instead, was a marketing term inspired by an old commercial by Paul Cantillon found at the brewery. With lambic sales declining in the 1980s, Jean-Pierre Van Roy decided to use the term ‘Super Gueuze’ in an effort to boost sales.

~~==Unsubstantiated History==~~

The ~~Super Gueuze label may likely be another incarnation~~ of the ~~blue Mannekin Pis label used throughout~~ the ~~1980's until~~ the ~~mid 1990's. Nothing on the label indicates that this bottling was anything different. Other naturally brown colored labels for this bottled also exist~~.
