Gueuze
Brewed only in the area around Brussels, Gueuze is a blend of several Lambics. A traditional Gueuze is a blending of young Lambic (approximately 6 months of ageing) and old Lambic (3 years of ageing). Because of sugar and ferments always present in the beer, Gueuze re-ferments in the bottle.
