Style and Colour: Lambic Oude Gueuze.
Taste: Complex, acidic and well balanced taste with a beautiful fresh, dry and acidic finish.
Alcohol: 6 % ABV
Drinking Temperature: 5° C
Fermentation: A blend of 1/3 old lambic at least 3 years old and 2/3 young lambic at least 1 year old, matured in huge 10,000 litre oak barrels (tuns). The young lambic still contains enough yeast and sugar for refermentation in the bottle. The process produces carbon dioxide, causing a slight sparkling effect.
The Brewery: The Lindemans family has brewed since 1822, in Vlezenbeek, South-west of Brussels.
Origin: Lambic is a type of beer brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium southwest of Brussels. It is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts and bacteria. Oude Gueuze or Oude Kriek label was accorded legal protection by the European Union. Brewers are now only allowed to call their product Oude Gueuze if the older lambic used in the process has been aged for three years, has matured in oak barrels and is free of any artificial sweeteners. The pride of the master brewer, the oude Kriek Cuvée René bears the name of his son.
Food: Excellent as an aperitif. Perfect with veal, chicken, fish, salmon toast, mussels and sweet blue cheese.

Awesome for the price
Show me a wine you can buy for this price that shows this much character. One to drink now rather than cellar.
