Description
Geuze Vélomoteur was a Cantillon Gueuze blend bottled in 2005 to celebrate Akkurat's 15th anniversary celebration in 2010.
History / Other Notes
Because it is difficult for a lambic blender to make such a small blend, this was actually a split batch, with part of the blend used for Geuze Vélomoteur and the remainder sold as draft gueuze in 2005.[1]
Part of what makes this blend unique is that these bottles were cellared at Cantillon for five years after bottling prior to their release in 2010. Bottles were only sold onsite at Akkurat.
The bottles used were leftovers from the Goldackerl and Reed Gueuzes.[1]

Label Text:
For our 15th anniversary Jean Van Roy has made a very special Gueuze. It is a blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic and was bottled in April of 2005. It has then been fermented and matured for 5 years in the deep caveaus of Cantillon.
15 years is the minimum age for driving a moped in Sweden, which is why we chose the name Gueuze Velomoteur.
