Iris

Contrary to other Cantillon producsts, Iris is not brewed with 35% wheat but only pale ale malt, giving a more amber colour. And while lambic is made with 100% dried hops, for Iris Cantillon uses 50% dried and 50% fresh hops. The fresh hops create a superb acidity, while the dried hops conserve the beer while preserving all its qualities. After two years in barrel, Iris undergoes a second fresh hopping two weeks before the bottling. A linen bag, filled with hops, is soaked in the beer for two weeks. This technique, called « cold hopping », gives the beer a more intense savour and makes the smell and the taste more bitter. Iris is brewed only once every season and all the bottles come from the same brew. Limited to 1 per customer, sorry.
