(Bottle 25 cl) Version at 6% ABV from "Brij Vander Linden" in Halle. Reddish, not much head. Rather light in body, with tartness in both nose and flavour, but balanced off with a light sweetness. Interesting blend. 220795

Clearly pre-Boon sample Clear red-amber, end of bottle hazy; dirty shards of foam. Faint "horseblanket", sourish lactic acid & wood, red sourish fruit. Woody, tart, lactic taste, more gueuze-like than their own Vieux Foudre G., vinous, fruity, plain excellent. Tart, medium-bodied, little slickness. God, now I remember why I used to think of this as one of my favourites, long time ago. The perfect middle between gueuze and Flemish Oud Bruin. Officialy this is a blend between gueuze and ale. I reclassified this beer at faro, as that is closer than "Belgian Ale", and resembles what Frank made of it. In fact it belonged to a category of mixed beer, including the Jack-Op, ruined by De Neve, Super 6 gueuze from De Block, or the original Bourgogne des Flandres from d’Ydewalle-Van Malder. Frank Boon, whom I love for other things, turned it openly towards the faro side (read the other ratings), whilst his current Duivel is from another brewery’s recipe, totally sweet. I moan this one.

How to judge a bottle that almost explodes in my kitchen? The impression is for a sweet one, virtually no hop; let's see next time...
