Gueuze is a spontaneously fermented beer of Belgian origin: its distinctive feature is the blending of a young Lambic — usually about one year old — with at least one other more mature Lambic, often two or three years old. The blend creates an aromatic complexity that no single Lambic could achieve alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Gueuze is and why it is unique\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGueuze\u003c\/strong\u003e is often called the \u003cem\u003eChampagne of Belgium\u003c\/em\u003e: like Champagne, it is made by blending different vintages, re-ferments in the bottle, and develops an extraordinary evolving complexity. Spontaneous fermentation — without added yeasts, only those present in the air of the Pajottenland — makes each batch unique and unrepeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oude Geuze (spontaneous fermentation Gueuze)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of 1, 2, and 3-year-old Lambics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spontaneous — wild yeasts from the Pajottenland\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRe-fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended glass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flute or Gueuze glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Het Boerenerf — Pajottenland, Belgium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSensory profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose it is complex and wild: citrus, fruity, and funky notes intertwine with cellar, wood, and leather aromas typical of Pajottenland Lambic.
