Gueuze is the ultimate result of a complex blend of lambics of different ages and with different tastes kept in oak barrels. The brewer’s main task involves tasting and he or she will have to try around a dozen lambics from different barrels, finally selecting five or six. It is by this method that gueuze 100% lambic, presenting the typical characteristics of Cantillon Brewery’s beers, is produced. Each blended batch yields a slightly different gueuze because the natural elements at the heart of the beer make it impossible to produce a standardised product.
Bottles are positioned horizontally in a cellar and left to rest for an average of one year, this being the time required for the conversion of the sugars into carbon dioxide (secondary fermentation in the bottle). Saturation of the liquid takes place slowly and naturally, and when the lambic turns into a foaming beer it is called gueuze.

Bottle.
A- Golden orange color, clear liquid, no head.
A- Dusty, light lemon peel, farm air, light, wet straw.
F- Lemon verbena, rubber tire, barnyard hay, wet oak, slightly funky.
T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish.
O- 2015 vintage drank at 10 years of age. What else to say other than a classic. The standard. I wish I could have this all the time and try at 20 different vintages to compare as you know it would be a lovely new treat each time. Just great.
As 2024 Vintage.

George was feeling generous, so he let Sam have some.
Moldy cork but intact.
Hazy gold, lingering thin head.
Tropical, soapy, saltine nose.
Taste is super danky, watermelon, tart, amazing twang, pedestrian funk.
Thin, fuzzy, medium full carb, perfect acid, sloshable.
So great.

Entre dorada y anaranjada, turbia, de escasa espuma de baja persistencia. Clara presencia de brettanomyces en el aroma. En boca es muy seca, con perfecta efervescencia, acidez constantemente presente, notas saladas y ligeramente frutales en labios. Retrogusto aun más acido, con notas más asidradas. Compleja, interesante, aun para paladares poco habituados como el mío.
