So I just got in to my first StL Gueuze Fond Trad and noticed the cap is fairly rusty, even progressed to the inside of the "crimp" at the bottle contact points (doesn't mess with the seal at all).

The beer seems fine, but upon closer inspection, the others in my cellar have the same "issue". Anyone else notice this, or did I get unlucky?

For what it's worth, I think it's mostly superficial, but still a bit of an annoyance. I realize this bottle already has some age on it, but just curious if it's prevalent on all bottles round these parts or not.

I bought this product from three different locations and every single bottle had this issue. Beer tasted fine though. Also noticed that each bottle has some liquid reside on it. Like the bottles overflowed when filled.
