About this beer

Cantillon’s Saint Lamvinus presents as a Lambic beer brewed with Merlot grapes and aged in oak barrels, clocking in at 7% ABV. This spontaneously fermented beer delivers a complex flavor profile characterized by the tartness inherent to lambics, beautifully interwoven with the fruit-forward notes of Merlot grapes. The label, a striking vertical composition, features a still life painting of dark grapes against a maroon background, emphasizing the wine grape component. Brewed and bottled by Brasserie Cantillon in Brussels, Belgium, this offering promises a unique and nuanced beer experience driven by traditional methods and a delicate blend of fermentation and grape character.

The aging process in oak barrels further contributes to the depth and complexity, imparting subtle woody notes and enhancing the beer’s overall integration. Saint Lamvinus eschews the use of cultured yeast, relying on the wild yeasts present in the air of the Zenne valley for fermentation, a hallmark of authentic lambic brewing. The listing of “9.4 FL OZ” indicates the bottle size.
