Beers similar to Saint Lamvinus

Brasserie Cantillon

Fruit Lambic·Belgium·7% ABV·One of 15 Fruit Lambics in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Saint Lamvinus's fruity and sour character. Merlot grapes from the Côtes de Bourg blended with lambic of 16 to 18 months and macerated around eight weeks, long enough for the beer to draw out the tannins. The November 2022 cuvée was an exception, made from Merlot, Grenache Noir and Syrah. Harvest quality carries straight through: a good year gives more body, a weaker one leaves the lambic more exposed. Bordeaux red, intense and long.
