Lindemans Gueuze Cuvee Rene 6.0% / 37.5cl

The Gueuze Cuvée René is one of Lindemans flagship beers. With its golden color, beautiful sparkle, and sherry aromas, it is the queen of gueuzes.

This traditionally styled Gueuze is a blend of old and young lambic aged in oak barrels. It is then bottled in a Champagne-style bottle. A second fermentation then takes place. After six months this produces a golden, slightly sparkling, and tart gueuze. But if you cellar it for a few years, it will become truly exceptional!

The use of the Champagne-style bottle dates back to a when lambic brewers made a specialty of collecting empty bottles from around fine restaurants and other establishments that consumed a lot of Champagne.

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.
