Boon Oude Gueuze 7.0% / 37.5cl

Oude Geuze Boon is undoubtedly one of the best-known of Brouwerij Boon's beers. They have been making this traditional, unsweetened and unfiltered Oude Geuze since 1975. It is particularly loved for its gentle flavour and mild tartness. Its secret? Everything starts with the Lambic beer that is brewed from 60% malt and 40% wheat and is then 100% matured in oak barrels.

Oude Geuze Boon is a blend of Lambics that have matured for 1, 2 and 3 years. It is bottled and then given another several months of bottle conditioning. This secondary fermentation process creates extra complex flavours with a rich sparkle that produces a nice head when served. The bottle conditioning is also what makes the Lambic blend a genuine Oude Geuze.

Vintage
The years on the neck label refer to the brewing season (vintage) of the predominant Lambic beer in the blend of Oude Geuze Boon. That brewing season is in the colder months from October to April, and therefore spans 2 years.

Flavour
Oude Geuze Boon has a deliciously gentle flavour thanks to its typically soft and rounded texture. You will discover a very fresh nose that is more fruity than spicy with hints of citrus (specifically grapefruit), apricot and oak. You will also enjoy its complex, balanced character with notes of wood, vanilla and nuts. The finish is long, dry and intense.
