In 2024, 150 years will have passed since the birth of Louis Thevenet; a famous painter from Halle. To celebrate this occasion, Brewery 'Den Herberg', in collaboration with 'den AST' and 'Villa Servais', developed a 'Geuze Thevenet.' It is a unique blend of eleven different barrels of lambic, aged in old (red and white) wine barrels made out of French and American oak.
Kloris Devillé from Den Herberg describes the geuze as follows: "This 'Oude Geuze' has a lively palette of flavors, much like one might find in a masterful painting. The subtly woven minerality forms a canvas on which the depth of the composition is built, while the complexity of the geuze, thanks to the former red and white wine barrels, unveils a rich and varied palette of aromas and flavors, almost like masterful brushstrokes.". Six different labels were designed, each featuring a different painting by Thevenet from the collection of 'den AST'. This allows beer enthusiasts to simultaneously enjoy works such as 'Hôtel de Bruxelles', '’t Wit Paard', 'De Weg-Om', and 'Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Halle onder stolp'. It's a little preview of the grand Thevenet exhibition, which will be on display on March 23 (2024), at 'den AST' and 'Villa Servais'.." Percentage of 3 YO old lambic is higher than in the Gueuze Devillé.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Almost clear dark golden with fluffy white head. Yoghurt, oak, peach, dusty basement, oak leaves, soy milk, soft vinegar, canned tangerines, light caramel. Over medium sour, medium sweet. Full bodied. Quite weird, typical Herberg leaves and yoghurt. Not bad but not my favorite.

375ml bottle picked up in Brussels. It pours clear rich gold with a thick, fluffy and sturdy head. The aroma is fresh, spritzy, zingy, lemon - lime, gooseberry fool, crunchy white grape, kiwi fruit, some custard, light vanilla and creme brulé. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, minerality, puckering, zingy, slightly lactic, touch of acidity, sherbet, gooseberry, white grape, granny smith apple, bright, musty, white wine, mellow funk, damp hay and oak with a bone dry finish. Medium body and moderate, effervescent carbonation. A lovely gueuze. Lovely, bright and balanced, with a good depth of flavour. What's not to like?

Nagy, tartós hab, aranybarna szín. Savanykás, gabonás, animális illat. Savanykás, animális, gabonás ízek, némi ásványossággal. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas, nem keserű. Nagyon finom.

0.375 l bottle from 'Huis van de Geuze', best before August 2043, probably bottled one year ago. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, rather funky and quite fruity aroma overripe lemon, leather, oak, horse blanket, gooseberry, apple and white pepper. A little sweetish, quite sour, rather funky and quite fruity taste of overripe lemon, red wine, gooseberry, leather, oak, white pepper, apple, hay, horse blanket and hints of vinegar, followed by a medium long, fairly tart, gently woody-dry finish. Medium body, quite astringent and rather effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Fairly sharp and intense Geuze with a minor but unpleasant vinegary touch. Other than that fairly complex and refreshing, something for a hot summer day.

Flaska från Etre Gourmet. Disig gyllengul vätska med högt skum. Läs Alengrins recension. Sammanfattar det så väl. Vill särskilt lyfta fram de nästan övermogna äpplena och den träiga oxiderade fatkaraktären. Fantastisk
