Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait has an alcohol content of 8%. It consists of 95% mild lambic, aged at least three years and specially reserved for this purpose, and 5% young lambic. The latter provides the fermentable sugars and wild yeasts. After mixing in a vessel of 25,000 litres, the wort (unfermented mixture) is filtered and chilled. If we are bottling, we bring it back to fermentation temperature. The bottles are placed in a climate-controlled space for the secondary fermentation. This is followed by maturing at low temperature for at least 6 months. Want to know the bottling date? Simply subtract 20 years from the “best before” date!
The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonises with the oak barrels’ aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense. Sublime.

Bottle shared at Benny’s Place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is funky barnyard yeast. The flavour is over moderate sour, with a crisp, herbal, funky yeast, light fruity, dry woody, yeasty bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle. Color: Clear.golden, white head. Aroma: Tartness, fruity gooseberry and citrus, oak wood. Taste: Smooth, still some sweetness, combined with light to moderate tartness and light old hop bitterness. Fruity apple, some grapefruit (zest), hints of lemon. Bit moldy. Subtle leathery funk, oak and tannins. Hints of hay. Medium body, below average carbonation. Very likeable.
