-==Unsubstantiated Stories==
-While it is believed that this original beer may have evolved into [[Cantillon Cuvée Des Champions|Cuvée Des Champions]] and ultimately [[Cantillon Cuvée Saint Gilloise|Cuvée Saint Gilloise]], this has not been confirmed. Additionally, if this is in that line of beers, Cantillon has changed dry hop profiles multiple times and the hops used in this original release is unknown.
