Falls City Gose
Grab your salt and lime for the tequila of beers
A style of Lambic that originated in the Brussels region of Belgium - pronounced "gerz-ah" or "gooze".
Ranging in color from gold to deep amber, the Gueuze is made by combining a one-, a two-, and a three-year old Lambic. The one-year old Lambic still has fermentable sugars, while the aged versions have differing amounts of the characteristic Lambic sour and musky flavors and aromas. Often bottle conditioned, the flavors are intense, fruity, dry, and acidic, with no hop character.
Usually served cool, 46-54 degrees, in a champagne flute, beer snifter, or a stemmed tulip glass.

Nowadays, Lambic on draught is hard to find. Only in a few pubs in and around Brussels you still can taste the curious sherry-like flavoured beer. Nevertheless, since 1880, Lambic was bottled to simplify transport but also for conservation properties.
