A Note on This Beer

After earning nearly 50 GABF medals, Deschutes Brewing has a reputation for crafting what we call “Barrel-Aged Gateway Beers.” 

From pours like The Abyss to The Stoic, these are the types of brews that, once you get a taste, they unlock a whole new flavor spectrum you hadn’t known existed! 

And right now, you have a chance to experience a taste of their mastery with today’s The Ages 2019 Gueuze-Style Ale.

Now, some of you may be like that one fan on Untappd asking, “What the heck is a Gueuze-Style Ale?” 

Better prepare yourselves, because you’re about to experience a small-batch release gateway beer! 

This style is the origin and pinnacle of Sour beer, usually reserved for top-shelf Lambic producers like Belgium’s Cantillon and 3 Fonteinen  — until now. Fans who’ve tasted Deschutes can’t praise it enough.

  • “As close to Cantillon as I have had in the states. Very complex, well-architected beer.” @Brett. L
  • “Holy Belgian caves, Batman! This bier is fantastic.” @Louie K. 
  • “Best Sour I’ve ever had.” @Eric V. 


In traditional Gueuze-style, Deschutes takes three different vintages of Barrel-Aged Sours and meticulously blends them, aging it all together in 100% oak barrels. The result is a cascade of saline tartness carrying funky citrus rinds, woody spice, wisps of raspberry skins, and earthy notes of hay. A sparkling effervescence on the palate leads to a dry, white pepper-laced finish that completely masks the 7.7% ABV. 

A cellarable treasure, The Ages 2019 is a world-class example of the traditional style that is bound to make its mark in Deschutes’ lauded history, as well as your craft beer journey.

Rated 4.01 on Untappd

This one is powerful with fruity esters and savory from the multi year blending!... notes of snow pears and spicy peppercorn!... this one is truly a five star work of art! Sips like oaky spiced zinfandel and finishes so crisp and clean... plenty of that lambic tartness, but not so much that it baffles all the depth this one offers... cellared for an additional 2yrs at home.. worth the wait! 💓 Another easy five star offering by deschutes!! 🍺👍😃 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
