Brasserie Cantillon

Lively acidity opens with tart citrus and restrained orchard fruit, followed by delicate woody aromas and a dry, quietly earthy lambic character. Fine carbonation gives the palate lift, while the fruit remains subtle rather than sweet. The finish is crisp, persistent and gently savoury, with the acidity becoming more refined as the beer opens. Serve cool with aged cheese, charcuterie, mussels or roast poultry.

Light yellow, delicate and vinous, this spontaneous-fermentation lambic is matured with organic Viognier grapes. The fruit lends freshness and a gentler acidity than many traditional lambics, while extended barrel ageing brings subtle depth beneath the bright profile. Serve cool with goat cheese, shellfish, roast poultry or simply as an aperitif; its fine balance will also appeal to adventurous wine drinkers.

Sour cherries meet mature lambic in a deeply traditional Belgian fruit beer. The producer uses a generous proportion of cherries, giving the palate vivid red-fruit acidity alongside subtle almond tones from the fruit and pits. Fruit leads when young, while lambic character becomes more prominent with bottle age. Serve cool with duck, charcuterie, washed-rind cheese, dark chocolate or cherry desserts.

Sour cherries bring vivid red-fruit flavour to a tart, earthy lambic base, with lively acidity keeping the palate dry and precise rather than sweet. A subtle almond note adds complexity behind the fresh cherry character, while gentle funk and a vinous texture build toward a clean, savoury finish. Serve well chilled with duck, charcuterie, washed-rind cheese or dark chocolate, allowing the glass to warm slightly as the aromatics open.
