== Description ==
Lou Pepe Geuze is part of Cantillon's Lou Pepe series which is bottled on a semi-regular basis.  The series also contains [[Cantillon_Lou_Pepe_-_Framboise|Lou Pepe Framboise]] and [[Cantillon_Lou_Pepe_-_Kriek|Lou Pepe Kriek]].  Lou Pepe Gueuze is not a gueuze in the traditional sense.  It is made from two year old lambic that has been aged in used wine barrels. To carbonate the beer, a small amount of sweet liquor is added at bottling, causing the refermentation in the bottle.
