<p>“How could you resist this queen of gueuzes in its magnificent Art Nouveau bottle?”</p><p>With its golden colour, its sparkle and its beautiful sherry aromas, this is the queen of gueuzes.</p><p>This old gueuze is a blend of old and young lambic matured in large oak barrels called foudres. It is then bottled in a beautiful champagne bottle where a second fermentation takes place. After 6 months, the gueuze obtains a golden colour and is slightly carbonated and tart. But kept in a cellar for a few years, it becomes truly exceptional!</p><p>The use of a champagne bottle dates back to an uncertain time period when lambic brewers specialised in recovering empty bottles from great restaurants and other establishments where a lot of champagne was consumed.</p><p>A blend of 1/3 old lambic that is at least 3 years old and 2/3 young lambic that is at least one year old matured in huge 10,000-litre oak barrels (foudres). Young lambic still contains enough yeast and sugars to continue to ferment in the bottle. This process produces carbon dioxide, resulting in a slightly carbonated beer with a nice foam.</p><p>Due to the second fermentation process in the bottle, its shelf life is the same as that of a good bottle of wine. Bottles can be stored in a cellar lying on their sides. After transportation, a 3-day rest period will allow the yeast to settle to the bottom of the bottle. This makes it possible to serve the beer without it becoming cloudy.Complex tart and well-balanced taste with a nice crisp, dry and tart finish. This will match really well with chicken, fish or some mild blue cheese.</p>
