Sherry barrel Geuze
In the spring of 2019, we received a series of very old Oloroso, PX and Amontillado barrels through a local Jerez cooperage. The aromas were a mix of typical fine sherry notes and toasted, peated characteristics, which we have never experienced before. However, after a year of bottle conditioning – because of the higher peated aromas, albeit balanced – we decided to release this bottle not as a Zenne y Frontera, but as a peated geuze. This blend, like blend 61, comes mostly from Oloroso barrels. The weighted average age of this blend, upon its release, is almost three years old. The oldest lambik was brewed in April 2018.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 15.04.2020. bit of a gusher this one. amber lightly hazy color, rather big white head. smells earthy, grassy, peated, spices, sherry, wood, oak, smoky, peppery. lovely smell. full body, pearly carbonation. tastes smoked, some peat, herbal, earthy, stone fruits, underlying sweetness, peppery, spices, some horse radish. finishes lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of peppery, peat and stone fruit notes. hmm, pretty good one. peat is pretty noticeable, and for me doesnt work so well with the beer. Possibly this just needs more time, also rather heavy for a geuze. Peat gets more noticeable when warmer, also on the smell, which I loved at first. Overall good, possibly could like this more with some age on it.

Small white head, disappearing over hazy orange beer. Typical gueuze-farmyard odour, chalk, sherry, faint lemon. Lemon, sherry, and then, retronasal, indeed tarr, phenol - blended in and not overwhelming. Light acidthinning but no or very little acidburn; lipsmacking acidity, good carbonation. Peat is just that little bit over to be truly refreshing, but it doesn't harm at all. No smoked malt - and yet this flavour, blending in perfectly. This is... outstanding in the litteral sense of the word. And great.
Light, fruity, sour, tart. Stone fruit, some funk, there is some peat coming through alright. Some dry barrel, very nice.
Funky with a touch of peat and sherry

11 September 2021. At Summer Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks, Klaas & Liesbeth, cheers to the whole crew!
Season 19/20, No° 62. Hazy orange, thin, off-white head. Aroma of hay, horseblanket, leather, plum, green apple, oak. Taste has very sour plum, peach & gooseberry, funky hay, vinegar & lemon acid. Old grassy hops in the tart finish along wood, funky fruit & leather. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Missed out on a the peat somewhat, apart from a more leathery aspect. Mainly a sharp Geuze.

Thnx to 77ships ! Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Scent is full, mildly oxidative. Don't get the peat (which is a good thing! ) . Taste is full, midlly peated, sharp tartness. Dry, mildly oxidative. Very enjoyable !
