Gueuze is a traditional Belgian blend of young and old Lambics (traditionally 1 year old, 2 year old and 3 year old). G(u)euzes are typically highly carbonated from refermentation in the bottle due to either the unfermented carbohydrates present in the younger components of the blend or from the addition of priming sugar 9or a combination of both). Some gueuzes are filtered and force carbonated if not pasteurized as well. Generally the term "oude" is associated with a more traditional product, although not all traditional g(u)euzes follow this nomenclature. Some examples of traditional g(u)euze exist without being labeled as "oude" however pasteurized examples will not be called "oude" geuze.
