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.

11/IX/21 - 75cl bottle @ BBGG Summer Edition (Klaas & Liesbeth's place), BB: 26/X/40, bottled: 15/IV/20 (2021-1043) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the bottle!
Little cloudy orange beer, practically no head. Aroma: fruity, lots of brett, very funky, dry, bit fruity, apricots and peaches. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice acidity, juicy, fruity, lots of citrus notes, bit spicy. Aftertaste: more spicy, fruity, lemony, more citrus notes, bit acidic. Not getting that peat though?
