Question 1

Geuze

Answer 1

Gueuze (Fr. and by derrivation, English)

There is some debate on where the word gueuze originated. One theory is that it originated from geysa (geyser), Old Norse for gush, since, during times of vigorous fermentation, gueuze will spew out of the bunghole of its enclosing oak barrel. Another theory derives it from a street called ‘Geuzenstraat’ (Geuzen Street) in Brussels, but such a street does not exist there.

Another theory derives it from the French word ‘gueuse’ (meaning pig iron or raw iron), as originally, gueuze was defined as raw (unblended), aged, but fine-tasting lambic.[
