Oude Geuze Boon Black Label is the driest gueuze we've ever made. Combining a full-bodied taste with nearly 100% fermentation degree was a big challenge. This gueuze has a clear golden body with lively carbonation, balanced sourness and flavors of green apple and grapefruit. This is finished off with a long bone-dry aftertaste. The Lambics used for this blend have aged for 1, 2, and 3 years on oak casks. Brewed in Lembeek, the village that gave Lambic its name.

90% dense just off-white head over clear golden beer, finely and lively carbonated. Towering head seriously hampers nasal perception. Some grains, wheat, farmyard. Unbelievably mild, almost sweet lambic. Some sulphur, waterplants (duckweed,...). Maltsweet(ish)ness, milkripe wheat. Very lively spritzy carboantion, mild acidburn and -thinning, wheatslick, refreshing. Excellent gueuze to fête with! Txs to Stef!

Pours slightly unclear , yellow , small white head. Very funky, substantially aged lambic. Raw and rough, yet smooth at the same time. Taste is sharp, dry, high carbo over a medium body. Woody, smoother than expected. Mature yet easy going. Typical Boon, Typical Black label-line. Nice !
