Blending lambic from one to three years old, this blend is made in the traditional method of spontaneous fermentation in the Senne valley, Belgium. This special blend has a distinct twist being matured in oak foeders previously used for Calvados. Ideal before a meal or paired with cheese.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 11/22/2016. Pours slight hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white wine, peppercorn, cork, wood, leather, musty funk, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, slight white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, oak, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white wine, peppercorn, cork, wood, leather, musty funk, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, slight white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spiciness, and light wine tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white wine, peppercorn, cork, wood, leather, musty funk, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, slight white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, oak, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with an amazing malt/spiciness, and light tart/tangy wine balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from spiciness, wine tang/tartness, and carbonation. High carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky/tannic, and lightly acidic/tandy balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.4%. Overall this is a fantastic gueuze! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/spicy yeast, oak, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the moderately spicy/tannic/drying finish. Very classic and well developed barnyard Brett funk complexity; nice oak foeder presence, and pale/wheat malt backbone. Mild overall lacto presence. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected of Boon.

750. Aroma corky and woody, lambic originale. Flavor is very Boon, maybe a bit more acidic. A little sweeter than expected.

Bottle. Musty barnyard, apple, biscuit malt, and straws aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate head. Mildly sweet apple, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter musty very dry hay flavor. Nice body and balance. Very pleasant - nicely fruity and dry.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Looks good in the glass, quite zippy, small head. Dry sourish aroma. Starts quite dry, tart sourness, fruity notes of sour apricot. Finish a bit woody-sourish. Nice one!

Botella 75 cl del Lúpulo 20180426 tomada en Llamas 24..08..2018. (r128) lote y fcpref ilegibles en capuchón del corcho. Color amarillento tostado velado a turbio con bastante espuma blanca al servir que desaparece casi por completo al poco tiempo. Sabores intensos, ácidos secos con toques maltosos y cereales y suaves afrutados. Cuerpo medio con buena dosis de acidez seca que permanece en boca un buen rato dejando pequeñas notas afrutadas y algo cítricas. Bien de gas. Paso ligero en boca. Aparte que al abrirla el tapón de corcho casi me deja tuerto todo perfecto.... Bastante buena, refrescante, para repetir sin duda.

Blond colour with quick fading fluffy head. Aroma has an occasional waft of clove. Flavour has some soft, caramelised banana sweetness. Not much real calvados flavour but the sweetening effect adds balance. Really clean finish.
