Beers similar to Cuvée Saint-Gilloise

Brasserie Cantillon

Lambic·Belgium·5.5% ABV·One of 4 Lambics in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Cuvée Saint-Gilloise's sour and dry character. Fresh Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops steeped in a two-year lambic. Since there is no blend with young lambic and no fruit sugar, the bottle fermentation is started with liquid sucrose instead. The brewery selects elegant, fine lambics here so acidity and hop bitterness stay in balance, and advises drinking it young while the floral hop character holds. The name refers to a Brussels football club the Van Roy family supports.
