Cantillon Cuvée Saint-Gilloise is not a traditional 'gueuze,' in that it is made from un-blended two year-old lambic (spontaneously fermented), not from a blend of older and younger lambics.

It is also dry-hopped in the cask for three weeks with Hallertau hops.

Re-fermentation in the bottle is achieved with the addition of a small amount of candi sugar.

 

What's in a name ?

Brewmaster and blender Jean Van Roy originally produced this beer in 2004 to honor his hometown soccer club, Brussels’ Union St. Gilles, for their Division III championship.

Sadly, St. Gilles’ performance has flagged in the years since, and he could not in good conscience dedicate the beer to “Champions.”

Thus, the name was downgraded to the less grandiose “Cuvée Saint-Gilloise”.
