Carbonation forms one of the most important parts of the lambic-drinking experience. Unlike most other styles for which carbonation only exists in a narrow concentration band, lambics span the range from entirely still to some of the most carbonated beers brewed anywhere in the world[REF]. Further, unusual carbonation states, such as the "Loerik" or "Lazy" and "Doesjel" or "snoozer" guezes (examples from [[Cantillon_Loerik|Cantillon]], [[Lindemans_Loerik|Lindemans]], and two from 3 Fonteinen, [[3_Fonteinen_Doesjel|1]] [[3_Fonteinen_Golden_Doesjel|2]]) that fail to carbonate as normal, are often highly sought-after experiences, and some otherwise-still lambics may carbonate over long years of ageing. Carbonation may also decrease as CO2 can escape from a bottle, particularly over long timescales where the cork may become compromised.
