Cuvée Saint-Gilloise

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, contributing to the beer's crisp, refreshing character.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by elegant floral notes from the Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops—subtle chamomile and herbal florality define the character. A pronounced acidity underlies the aromatics, with a gentle lemony sourness and dry, papery hop presence that invites the nose back repeatedly.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and tart, with the lambic's characteristic sour backbone asserting itself immediately. Mid-palate reveals a fine balance between the hoppy bitterness and the wine-like acidity; the floral character from the noble hops emerges clearly without overwhelming the palate. The finish is bone-dry and persistently bitter-tart, leaving no residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

Long and dry, with lingering floral and hoppy notes accompanied by a gentle sourness. The aftertaste remains crisp and refreshing, with no cloying sweetness.
