  • The Lambic Grand Cru Bruocsella Cantillon is a lambic which has matured for three years in oakwood barrels and has been selected for its exceptional color, taste and flavor.
    Its light, slightly amber, yellow-gold color and its aroma, a mixture of apples and honey, make the Grand Cru Bruocsella 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 flavor of roasted bread which, according to some, relates it to the white Burgundy "Chardonnay".
    Its subtle taste enhances the savour of 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 maturing for three years in oakwood barrels, it looks more like wine and its fine taste and flavours nearly make one forget that the Grand Cru Bruocsella Cantillon is a beer. This old lambic is bottled without any addition.
    The taste of the Grand Cru Bruocsella Cantillon will change in course of time and the beer can be kept for years. It is recommended to savour this old Lambic in wine glasses (tasting glasses).
