50 jaar Boon, dat is een gouden jubileum van het fel gesmaakte huwelijk tussen traditie en ambitie. En Mariage Parfait staat al bijna net zo lang bekend als het perfecte huwelijk tussen de beste Lambieken uit de oudste eikenhouten vaten van onze brouwerij.
Speciaal voor deze feestelijke gelegenheid serveren we nu de Mariage Parfait 10, een uitzonderlijk uitgebalanceerde blend van krachtige, gebalanceerde Lambieken. De 10 verwijst naar het alcoholpercentage van 10% – een voltreffer, waarin traditie en vernieuwing elkaar liefdevol omarmen.
Deze Mariage Parfait Oude Geuze bedient zowel kenners als enthousiastelingen op hun wenken met een rijke en verfijnde smaakbeleving. Heerlijk om meteen van te genieten, maar je kan hem net zo goed nog jarenlang koesteren en bewaren voor een speciale gelegenheid. Een jubileum bijvoorbeeld.

Amber body, with a medium head.
Aroma of stone fruits, funk, lemon. Tastes similar, more mineralic.
Medium mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes fruity, mineralic, slightly funky.
Not that outstanding, but a straight, balanced Geuze that drinks really well for the ABV.

375mL bottle, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has a nice barnyard funk character, with leathery notes, and some tangy wine notes. Flavour is nicely complex, with a nice barnyard funk character, leathery notes, champagne-like effervescence, and some hay. Finishes bitter, funky, and champagne-like. Why 10%? It works but seems unnecessarily boozy.

0,375l bottle at home. Amber clear color, small white head. smells funky, earthy, grassy, oak, peppery. Very nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes funky, oak, earthy, peppery, walnuts. finishes rather balanced with a light sourness and light boozy notes with notes of funk, walnuts and pepper. Good one, rather too much body. But good to very good none the less

0.375 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', bottled in February 2025. Slightly hazy, golden orange with a medium large, slightly fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, rather funky and quite fruity aroma of horse blanket, overripe lemon, grapefruit, hay and some white pepper. Slightly sweet, gently sour, rather fruity, gently funky and minimally vinous taste of grapefruit, overripe lemon, hay, white pepper, oak, leather and some red wine, followed by a medium long, gently tart, fairly woody-dry finish. Medium body, gently astringent and fairly effervescent mouthfeel, very lively carbonation. Highly delicious brew, unbelievably refreshing for such a high lambic, pleasantly crisp and dry. Gorgeous beer!

Pours a medium dark amberblonde. Medium sized head fades relatively fzdt. Overwhelming scent of mature brett, wood, and thick citrusy notes fill the room. Up close, the typical boon character. Full and fruity. Taste is quite dry, intense, noticable boozybess. Typical boon fruityness, and , here it is, it reminds me of vat 77 - one of my favorite lambics, and certainly my fav boon, in terms of fruityness. This one a bit less balanced though, too alcoholic (taste) for it's own good, lacking the superb balance of the actual vat 77, but being compared to that legacy alone is an acomplishment. High but tollerable carbonation. Very decent, i get the special version thing, and wouldn't stock up on it like I did with 77 amongst others, but certainly more than fun to have tried it ! Maybe i'd need to buy another to keep long term, see how the abv influences this in ageing .

Huge, very dense & fine off-white head over hazy orange-golden beer, very lively carbonated. Rubber, basketshoes, and then an explosion of horseblankte, immortelles, mushrooms, kari leaves, laurel. Sweetish (the alcohol working!), immortelles, horseblanket, again a wild mushroom flavour, oakleaves. Quantum level complexity. Hay and some faint leatherpolish in the aftertaste, together with some not really-sweet apples. Very good carbonation, slick, slight acidburn. Alcohol only revealed by the light sweetness. Arguably one of the most stellar gueuzes ever. Txs to Stef!

375ml bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours clear golden with a thick, fluffy & lasting white head. The aroma is musty, natural yoghurt, granny smith apple, white grape, fizzy sherbet, gooseberry, soor plooms, oak, hay, grass, damp basement, mouldy lemon rind, cheese rind, deep funk and brett. The taste is crispy, bone dry, minerality, puckering, nip of acidity, lemony sherbet, dry white wine, gooseberry, plum, touch of cider vinegar, deep funk, damp oak, light tannin, hay, straw and some restrained alcohol presence. Finish is dry and funky. Medium body and moderate, lively carbonation. Nice depth of flavour and balance. Looking forward to trying a few of these with some age on them
