About this beer
Cantillon Iris is a product of Belgium, brewed and packaged by Brasserie Cantillon in Brussels. This ale weighs in at 6% alcohol by volume and is packaged in 7.92 US gallon batches. The label, simply adorned with the brewery and beer names in bold, black lettering, against a cream background, presents a starkly classic appearance. Beyond the standard warnings, few ingredient details are provided, hinting at the traditional and often spontaneously fermented nature of Cantillon’s offerings; it is likely a lambic-style beer, leaning into tart and complex flavor profiles characteristic of the brewery’s wild yeast and barrel-aging processes.
Given Cantillon’s reputation, one can anticipate a complex and evolving flavor profile, with potential notes of fruit, barnyard, and a refreshing acidity, stemming from the spontaneous fermentation process. This beer is imported by Lime Ventures in Concord, California, and is intended to be enjoyed responsibly, as highlighted by the mandatory alcohol warning.
