Brewery John Martin & Brewery Timmermans - Gueuze

The Oude Gueuze is an appellation controlee: its label is protected. It is also known as the champagne of beers, especially since it is only available in limited editions. The special taste of Timmermans Oude Gueuze results from its traditional production method. It is a mixture of old lambic that has matured in wooden barrels for three years and young lambic that ensures spontaneous fermentation in the bottle. The different lambics are carefully selected by the brewer to achieve a perfect taste. After production, the Timmermans Oude Gueuze is fermented in the bottle for four months and then matures for 20 years. The discovery of the world of Brettanomyces, as the spontaneously fermenting wild yeast in the heart of the legendary Lambics from the Senne Valley is called, is a fascinating experience. This little marvel of bitter taste convinces with its taste subtlety, where lambic never means sour.
