ABV 5.5
The worlds classic Gueuze. A blend of one, two, and three year-old lambics creates a second fermentation in the bottle. The champagne of Belgium. In contrast, the Lou Pepe Gueuze is a blend of three 2-year-old lambics.
Beer with a slightly acidic and fruity taste, delicate and woody fragrance and a dry finish that lingers on the palate,with taste evolution that will keep for a long time in a good cellar.
Gueuze is the ultimate result of a complex blend of lambics of different ages and with different tastes kept in oak barrels. The brewers 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 Brewerys 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.
Newer vintages are labelled Organic Gueuze, 100 Lambic Bio or Classic Gueuze.
