This helps make it more ageable, as the crown cap liners allow more oxygen transmission than a cork would. Indeed, this reminds me of an old Yalumba wine from the 1970s that I had, which had a cork plus a screwcap!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cantillon Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio<\/strong><br \/>\n5% alcohol. Beautiful stuff, with amazing acidity. Very dry but with some fruit sweetness: notes of grapefruit and citrus, as well as subtle malt and nut richness. Apple notes, too. Precise with a fine mousse. Complex, edgy and\u00a0intriguing, but not difficult to drink. Very wine like. 9.5\/10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Belgian beer is something special.
