Summary: Light, crisp, bubbly, and pleasantly sour, geuze is a style of Belgian lambic made from a blend of aged and young beers, and further fermented in the bottle. We love it, though the intense sourness is an acquired taste. The stylish mix of sweet and tart flavors in this drink reminds us of wise-cracking Nora Charles, Loy’s great character from the Thin Man detective movies.
Ingredients
- Ice cubes

Instructions

- 3. Pour the geuze into a separate glass and serve on the side, so that the drinker can top the cocktail with the beer just before consuming.
