Cantillion Gueze is a blend of one, two and three year-old lambics. Lambics are beers fermented spontaneously by naturally occurring yeasts from the atmosphere. Gueze is an unflavored style of lambic. Generally, lambics are flavored with fruit to make them sweeter and more palatable. Gueze are not sweetened, leaving their sour, funky and tart flavors unfettered. Cantillion Gueze is complex, acidic, mouth-puckering, and very dry. The overwhelming flavor characteristic is tart, there are no sour notes. The coloring is muddy reddish brown. The aroma and flavor are similar. Both have a lemon zest character and are reminiscent of unsweetened lemon meringue pie.
