Gueuze Cuvée
René
Possibly the oldest beer, Gueuze, or Geuze, (pronounced "GOO-za") is unseasoned, wild-fermented wheat beer. The brewers blend aged lambic and younger lambic, to taste, and a bottle refermentation occurs after capping. It is highly coveted by gourmands in Belgium who lay it in their cellars like wine.
Golden color, cidery, winey palate; reminiscent, perhaps, of bubbly dry vermouth with a
more complex and natural flavor. Style—Gueuze Lambic
As an aperitif in place of dry sherry, with carbonnade a la beouf, mussels in white wine
or Gueuze, flavorful cheeses; traditionally served in tall, thick tumbler with cubes of
sugar to sweeten to taste.
