Description
Gueuzérable is made from the fermentation of organic maple syrup from Québec in a blend of 1, 2, and 3-year-old lambics in the same blend ratio as Gueuze Tilquin à l'Ancienne. After the blend with syrup is made (about 300L of syrup for 4000L of lambic, or 0.075L of syrup per liter of lambic in order to reach a final 10% ABV), it is further fermented in a stainless steel tank. Upon bottling, an additional small amount of maple syrup is added to cause secondary fermentation in the bottle.
History / Other Notes
This entry refers to the batches made available to-go at the gueuzerie as well as for distribution, with the first released made available in November 2019.
A first trial version (listed here as "Gueuzérable V1") was made in 2016, for which Pierre ordered the syrup later than expected in the season and got late harvest syrup, darker but also "less pure" than other grades (meaning other non-sugar natural compounds can be present). He later switched to more delicate syrup harvested earlier for the first official 2018 release sold to-go, but the taste being less pronounced, he switched back to darker late harvest syrup for next releases (except for the beer listed as "Gueuzérable V3", another trial version only available to drink on-site, which used crystallized syrup).
Fermentation to get all the sugar from the maple syrup to be fermented is rather slow and takes about 6 months, sometimes longer.
