__NOTOC__
== Description ==
Cantillon Asperule Odorante is a two-year old lambic with sweet woodruff added. It was bottled May 2010 and served both at the brewery and at a charity event at Beachwood BBQ in California in 2014. It was bottled in 75cl bottles and its ABV is unknown.
==History /Other Notes==
Asperule Odorante (''Asperula odorata'' or ''Galium odoratum'') is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe. Its common names include woodruff, sweet woodruff, wild baby's breath, and master of the woods (a literal translation from the German ''waldmeister''). As the word ''odorata'' suggests, the plant is renowned for its sweet, aromatic smell. It is used as a primary ingredient in ''Maitrank'', a drink served throughout Germany and into Wallonia. The Dutch word for this flower is ''lievevrouwebedstro''.
The inspiration for this lambic came from the ''Maitrank'', or May drink , which is served in many parts of Germany and into Belgium. In Arlon, a Belgian municipality located in Wallonia, people “venture into the area’s surrounding beech woods in search of sweet woodruff, a delicate, fragrant little white plant sometimes referred to locally as Reine de mai (Queen of May) or Elodie Belle." Though there is no one standard recipe for the ''Maitrank'', it is generally accepted that the flowers are typically macerated in white wine from the Mosel region of Germany along with sugar and unpeeled slices of oranges. In other recipes, Cognac replaces the wine and Cointreau, lemon, a cinnamon stick or sugar cane is added to complete the drink. <ref name= Asp> Via Michelin, [http://www.viamichelin.com/web/Gastronomy-magazine/Arlon-_-Maitrank_a_Belgian_drink_for_May_time-1b5a460cd71373d4271b2b9182db9cc0-155291 Maitrank, a Belgian drink for May time ]
