COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Geuze, a mixture of old and young Lambic. The young Lambic is added to cause a refermentation in the bottle making for a delightfully sparkling and dry beer that has been likened, in all seriousness, to Champagne.

Looks like a Hoegaarden. First second of taste is OK, but the taste disappears very fast. A hint of nice bitterness,but not sour enough.

arrogantb (899) - Denver, Colorado, USA - FEB 13, 2009
375ml bottle with a best by date of 02/2028. Nice golden color with an initially thick white head. It smells dusty, funk, must, and a bit of citrus candy. The taste is like a bit of sour lemon juice but the mouthfeel seems a little watery much like the other Boon Gueuze. Decent gueuze but I’d prefer a Cantillon for the same price.

I cannot believe it took me this long to rate Boon. Great dry and lightly sour stuff. The acidity makes this go rather nicely with food (though I am something of an anti-"beer with food" guy). Great mouthfeel, as it is carbonated just right. Any more carbonation and I think the overall effect of the sourness and acidity would be a little too much.

PorterPounder (3944) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - FEB 7, 2009
Tallahassee, Fl. - New Leaf Market - 12 oz bottle. Dark golden , slightly murky pour with a soft, foamy white head. Strong earthy scent with some barnyard and horseblanket aromas. Smells very "wild" and natural. Flavor is full bodied and full of sourness. Some sour grapefruit, vinegar, and some unrecognizable, yet delectable extreme sourness. Mouthfeel is dry and very crisp. Probably one of the best guezes I have had.

Pours gold into a tumbler. Bright white head with excellent retention leaves spot lacing. Grapefruit aromas. Sour and crisp upfront turning thin into a lasting grapefruit finish.

beerlady (543) - lucerne, SWITZERLAND - JAN 29, 2009
brewery-season 2005-2006 hazy yellow, offwhite head lasts not very long smooth carbonation smells sourish-sweetish ,a bit yeasty,some hops tasts sourish-sweetish,but the sourness is not so strong and the sweetness not strong too,so it seems me milder than other geuzes, tasts of some kitchen herbs too, for example dried celleri-leawes ,some citrus aftertaste some sourness, bitterness and herbs gas not that champagne-like hint of other geuzes a smooth geuze, would be good for geuze beginners, for not bee too astonished like by other geuzes
