Boon Millésime 2020 is a delicate traditional fruit beer based on Belgian Schaarbeekse cherries and lambic. 270 grams of cherries per litre create an intense, wine-like and elegant cherry aroma. This together with the accessible alcohol content make it an ideal tasting beer for food pairing or as an apéritif. The Boon Millésime was bottled on 19 October 2021 and is refermented in the bottle. Feel free to let the bottle continue to age for a few years. Cheers!

(Keg at Bruuveri, 20260731) The beer poured ruby red and clear. Its head was medium sized and pink. Aroma had cherries, wood and sweet fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were cherries, tartness, wood, sourness and bitterness. Aftertaste had wood, sourness and bitterness. All flavours I expected were there but all were very diluted, too.

On a hand pull, third of a pint in the Boot on 9th July 2026. No mention of 'Oude' on the pump clip, or ABV; hope it's the same beer? Anyway it poured a murky red with no head and tasted of old cherries, semi tart and sour.

Spritzig kirschiger Beginn mit erhöhter Karbonisierung. Süffig, intensiv fruchtig, minimale Süße, die starke Karbonisierung stört etwas. Rund, gut. 10/11/12/11/8/12

750ml pours an inky red, pink head. Nose has funk and berry, candlewax and a little candi sugar. Flavor is berry and cheesy and oaky. A little raspberry fool. Dry, tart but fullish bodied. This is very good. A little back sweetness identifies it as Boon but this would be your favorite Tilquin if it was in a different bottle. 8 8.5 8.5 8 8.5

75 cl-flaska från SB. Vackert vinröd-färgad lite disig vätska. Mjuk och rund med snäll syra. En av Boons storheter är drickbarhet och balans. Kanske inte superkomplex eller med så mycket funk men fina körsbärssmaker det och bra balans. Gott

Bottled at PBF. Purple with small pink head. Mild funk and lots of earthy, balsamic cherries. Tart with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Prickly carbonation. Balsamic Schaarbeekse cherries dominate, only slight horse blanket. Mild stale hop bitterness. Not very complex.
