COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Oude Geuze Boon is one of the finest examples of the traditional 100% spontaneous fermentation Lambic style. To moderate the sourness, Boon Brewery only brews Lambic in the 7 cold months, from early October until April, according to the traditional "turbid mash" system. This Lambic beer is aged for 1, 2 or 3 years in oak casks. The blend, a mild average 18 months old Lambic (unsweetened, unfiltered, unpasteurised) is refermented in the bottle and can be stored up to 20 years. Brewed in Lembeek, the village that gave Lambic its name. Awards at the World Beer Championships: 2008 Gold, 2010 Silver, 2012 Gold Medal.

Aroma lattico, di mela acida, frutta gialla sciroppata, al palato leggero alcolico poi ancora lattico, formaggio....molto rinfrescante, ottimo nelle calde giornate per aperitivo

Superb geuze beer. One of the best and a refreshing contrast to the mass manufactured equivalents. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

SirRepsol (134) - Cologne, GERMANY - JUN 6, 2013
from bottle (2010-2011). pours a hazy orange colour with a really huge frothy white head. interesting and complex aroma of yeast, hay, barnyard, sharp spices and both citric and grassy hops. fizzy carbonation, medium body and really dry aftertaste. medium sourness, pleasent flavours of green apples, citrus fruits and spices. the aftertaste reminds me of a dry white wine. this was my first geuze ever and i have to admit that i love it!

UPDATED: JUN 6, 2013 Bottle at Huppel the pub. Poured a very slightly hazy amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is big yeast and a little fruit. The flavour is medium sour, yeasty with a smooth grapefruit citrus palate.
