 | Cantillon Iris Product Type: Belgian Speciality Beers You must be logged in to view prices Size: 37.5cl ABV: 5% |
After two years in the barrel,Iris undergoes a second fresh hopping two weeks before 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 beers come from the same brewing. This is why the beer is dated. The secondary fermentation is obtained by adding liquor. Although it is a spontaneous fermentation beer, Iris is very different from Lambic beer,the amber colour and the bitter and slightly caramelized taste make it a complex beer.
