Cantillon Grand Cru Bruocsella is a lambic beer which has matured for three years in oak barrels and has been selected for its exceptional colour, taste and flavour. Its light, slightly amber, yellow-gold colour and its aroma, a mixture of apples and honey, make it a very seductive beer. Its taste derives from its dry character and its slight and discreet acidity. When kept for a long time, its bouquet gets the fine flavour of roasted bread which, according to some, relates it to the white Chardonnay grape of Burgundy.

Food pairing: Its subtle taste enhances stewed dishes, underlines discreetly the taste of fish and crustaceans and constitutes a strong support for the taste of fine meat. Combined with sauerkraut, it tastes to full advantage. The beer is unique in the world. Its fermentation is spontaneous, without the addition of yeast, and is the result of the action of micro-organisms. After its time in oak it looks more like wine and its fine taste and flavours nearly make one forget that the Grand Cru Bruocsella is a beer. This old lambic is bottled without any addition. The taste of the Grand Cru Bruocsella will change in the course of time and the beer can be kept for years.

We recommend that you savour this old Lambic in wine tasting glasses.

Cantillon Iris is a completely original beer which, contrary to the other products of the Cantillon Brewery, is not brewed with 35% of wheat. The Iris is only made with malt of the pale ale type (giving a more amber colour to the beer). It conserves the typical flavour of the spontaneous fermentation, the complex aromas and the vinous taste.
The hopping is different too. Cantillon Lambic is made with 100% dried hops. The Cantillon Iris contains 50% of dried hops and 50% of fresh hops. The latter cause a superb acidity, the former, due to their tannins, enable to conserve the beer while preserving all its qualities.
After two years in the barrel, the Iris Beer undergoes a second fresh hopping two weeks before the bottling. A linen bag, filled with hops, is soaked in the beer for two weeks. This technique, called "cold hopping", gives the beer a more intense savour and makes the smell and the taste more bitter.
Iris is brewed only once every season and all the beers come from the same brewing. This is why the beer is dated. The second fermentation is obtained by adding liquor.

Although it is a spontaneous fermentation beer, the Iris is very different from the Lambic. The amber colour and the bitter and slightly caramelized taste make it a complex beer.
