[[Gueuze]] is a [[Lambic|lambic]] [[Beer|beer]] from the [[Brussels]] area of [[Belgium]].  Unlike most [[Beers|beers]], which are [[Fermented|fermented]] with carefully cultivated strains of [[Brewer's yeast|brewer's yeast]], lambic is fermented spontaneously by being exposed to wild [[Yeasts|yeasts]] and bacteria native to the Zenne valley in which Brussels lies. This process gives the beer its distinctive flavour: dry, vinous, and cidery, usually with a sour aftertaste.  Gueuze is a mixture of young (one-year-old) and old (two- and three-year-old) lambics that have been bottled. Because the young lambics are not yet fully fermented, it undergoes secondary [[Fermentation|fermentation]] in the bottle and produces [[Carbon dioxide|carbon dioxide]]. A gueuze will be given a year to carbonate in the bottle, but can be kept for 10-–20 years.
