→History
The creation of Lambic d'Haute Densité started in 2010 when Cantillon brewed a high-alcohol lambic resulting in a 9.7% ABV beer with 8° Plato residual sugar. This was repeated in 2011 resulting in a lambic of 8.7% ABV. The brewery wrote in June of 2013 that "because of the high alcohol level, we had no more evolution after 2 years and we decide to blend those two brews and to bottle it in February of this year." Thus the Lambic d'Haute Densité was born.
This beer was bottled into bulbous 750ml bottles and corked with a 2013 cork. It was first served at The Festival in Portland, Maine between June 21st and June 22nd put on by [http://www.sheltonbrothers.com/ Shelton Brothers] and [http://www.12percentimports.com/ 12% Imports]. At [http://www.sheltonbrothers.com/festival/ The Festival], this beer was labeled with 375ml yellow Cantillon Classic Gueuze labels with no cap (cork only). Though some bottles mistakenly left the confines of the festival, the remaining bottles were returned to Cantillon by Shelton Brothers as it was never intended for public distribution.
