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.

The aroma is nicely sour with notes of sweetness, fruits, and lemon. The color is a hazy orange and it has a fine though disappearing head. The flavor is rather sweet for a Geueze, but it still has the bite it should have. The bite in this one is from the sourness with lemon notes. It ends on a woody dryness. A great Geueze - maybe because it is a little sweeter than the most sour and metallic Geuezes, but still not too sweet; like a Faro or some of the commercial Geuezes.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Comes as "Geuze Boon" at 6% ABV. Beautiful, fully golden beer albeit very hazy. Marvellous almost exotic nose - sherry perhaps - but also very acidic notes. The acidity continuous in the flavours, but this is far from the extreme sourness found in other traditional gueuzes. Wonderfully aromatic with some metallic notes. Well-conditioned - good one. 060200 and 110700

Dark yellow. Hazy. Dry, but not sourish. Balanced, simple. Some late bitterness.

37.5 cL bottle, 2003-2004 vintage. Pours hazy orange with a creamy/bobbly off-white head. Aroma is dried woody, acidic and with a light citrus to orange note. Flavour is dry and acidic. Solid woody tone into the finish. Medium sour to light sweet note. Easy accesible gueuze.

Refreshing example of the style. But I prefer the more assertive, sour varieties from Hanssens, Girardin, Cantillon and Cuvee Rene
