Oude Gueuze is an appellation controlee : its label is protected. It is
also known as the champagne of beers, especially as it is only available
as a limited edition. Timmermans Oude Gueuze’s special flavour derives
from its time-honoured method of preparation. It is a blend of old
lambic, which has been aged for three years in wooden barrels, and young
lambic which ensures spontaneous fermentation in the bottle. The
different lambics are carefully selected
by the brewer to obtain a perfect flavour. After it has been produced,
Timmermans Oude Gueuze, which is refermented for four months in the
bottle, continues to improve for 20 years. |

Discovering the world of the Brettanomyces, the name given to the
spontaneously fermenting wild yeast at the heart of the legendary
lambics of the Senne Valley, is a fascinating experience. This little
marvel of bitter flavour will win you over by its subtlety of taste in
which lambic never means sourness. A wild and fresh aroma is combined
with a completely emancipated taste from the very first sip, leaving a
flavour of authenticity on the palate while maintaining all the mystery
of the Brussels gueuzes.

A fabulous mix of lambics feeds this more than traditional version, in a
limited production. The sour but never embittered tastes release a
perfect balance between youth and maturity of the base products. It
reveals also a wood tannin, remembering the consolidating settling in
oak casks during several years. A worldly practice gathered in a Grand
cru . |
