Cantillon Iris

Straight (Unblended) Lambic 5 º
Brasserie Cantillon
Cantillon Iris is a singular expression of a Lambic, deviating from tradition by utilizing 100% Pale Ale malt and a unique hopping regimen. The absence of wheat and the use of kiln-dried malt yield a deep amber hue and a sturdier, bready foundation. Spontaneous fermentation imparts a profound Brussels funk—notes of wet hay and horse blanket—complemented by a vinous, cider-like complexity. The interplay of 50% fresh and 50% dried hops, followed by a cold-hopping finish, introduces a firm bitterness and a bright, resinous aromatic edge that cuts through the superb lactic acidity. It finishes bone-dry with a lingering, earthy, and herbal punch.
Appearance. Deep copper to amber (8-12 SRM) due to the Pale Ale malt. Generally clear to slightly hazy. Minimal off-white head with low retention and sparse lacing, typical of high-acidity spontaneous fermentations.
Aroma. High intensity with dominant Brettanomyces funk: leathery, horsey, and earthy hay. Distinctive hop presence from the cold hopping provides herbal, peppery, and slightly resinous notes. A subtle bready malt backbone is present, alongside pronounced lactic tartness with vinous, green apple, and citrus peel esters.
Taste. Assertive lactic sourness balanced by a firm, persistent hop bitterness unusual for the style. Initial flavors of tart white grape and lemon pith transition into a bready, toasted malt mid-palate. Complex fermentation character features barnyard funk and oak tannin. Bone-dry finish with a lingering herbal hop aftertaste and sharp, clean acidity.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with low to moderate carbonation. Notable puckering acidity provides a crisp, refreshing quality. Very slight astringency from hop tannins and oak contact. Negligible alcohol warmth.

It is a completely original beer which, contrary to the other products of the Brewery, is not brewed with 35% of wheat. The Iris, which is only made with malt of the pale ale type conserves the typical flavour of the spontaneous fermentation, the complex aromas and the vinous taste.The hopping is different too. Lambic is made with 100% dried hops, for the Iris we use 50% of dried hops and 50% of fresh hops. After two years in the barrel, the Iris undergoes a second fresh hopping two weeks before the bottling. This technique, called "cold hopping", gives the beer a more intense savour and makes the smell and the taste more bitter. The second fermentation is obtained by adding liquor.
