Gueuze Loerik 2019 37.5 cl

A Loerik is a mixture of lambics from which a gueuze is produced, the fermentation of which - for unknown reasons - will take much longer than an ordinary gueuze.
While a gueuze needs several months in the cellar to fizz, a Loerik will have to rest for years due to this slow fermentation. Since yeasts don't work as strongly as they should, this atypical gueuze is considered lazy, hence the name Loerik (meaning lazy in the Brussels dialect).
We cannot explain this slower development and are therefore unable to make such a beer. A Loerik is always the fruit of chance with a beautiful end result. Slow fermentation gives beer a lot of complexity and delicacy.
