Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is nice with light citrus and pineapple notes. Medium light mustiness with some hay and earthy, grassy notes. Light oak and hints of grape must. Pours a fairly clear, golden color with a large, fluffy, white head that recedes steadily to a small, thick, fluffy head that lingers. Flavor has a light sweetness with some grain notes. Medium light, soft acidity. Light oak notes with a light grape mustiness. Hints of lemon and pineapple. Earthy, musty, grassy and hay notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice geuze but probably worth the Mikkeller tax. Solid notes and white tasty.

It's a Boon gueuze, so can't be all bad. Very boring and too friendly for me, though. Soft, refreshing, carbed, little bit funky, lots of apple.. Gueuze for people who don't like gueuze. But nice enough.

Bottle shared by Jack, thanks! Pours a near clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of funk with some leaves and sour light fruits backing. Flavor has sour light fruits and funk with a bit of bread underlying.

(750ml bottle from Mikkeller Webshop) Pours a nearly clear pale orange with a decent-sized and stable head of white froth. Aroma of tart green apple, citrus peels, touch of pit fruit, a little lactic acid, fair amount of wood, dry leaves, touch of leather, soft Brett, some Calvados quality that makes the apple more prominent than most Boon. Flavour is lightly tart up front, mix of green apple, lemon peels, soft lactic acid, cereals, moderate wood, a little grass, funk is extremely light and limited to a feeling of fresh cheese. Middle to finish becomes bone-dry, rather crisp and mineral, though there's some lactic rounded creaminess as well, lingering notes of lemon pith and apple skins. Soft short aftertaste. A bit like Black Label with a hint of Calvados, but also rather softer on the bitter old hop and wood quality. Quite drinkable, subtle barrel overall, but a nice geuze.

Shared at a tasting, many many thanks SlackerMads, medium fizzy bubbly head, hazy apricot orange color, lots of wood in aroma at first, but mellows down in time, light apple, calvados, hint of rotten oranges and parsley, fruity apple flavor, orange peel, calvados, yoghurt sourness, a bit of tannins. A bit harsh at first but opens up considerably, really good.

Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy golden colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is yeasty citrus. The flavour is moderate sour with a fresh, crisp, big dry yeast, tart fruity palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

It would make a lot of sense to classify this beer under the name Mikkeller / Boon Oude Geuze (Calvados) Small yellowish head, bit irregular and rather stable for gueuze, over hazy orange-golden beer. Mix of vinous and horseblanket/farmyard aromas, bit of chalk, cardboard, buckthornberries, crabapples. Lemon, malonic acid; vinous character, old wood/barrels with of course more farmyard flavours. Again strange fruit, again buckthornberries come to mind. After some time, a lingering, soft sweetness appears. Very clear palate, as cleansed by the acids. Spritzy, mild acidthinning. Another topgueuze.
