For this Oude Geuze Golden Blend we blended lambikken that originate from three different barrels and four different brews, with three different brewers. This Golden Blend is particular in that sense that we used two- and five-year old lambikken only, and finished it with some freshly brewed lambik wort for the push in the bottle. Since a good 60% is two-year old lambik and almost 40% is five years old, the weighted average age of this bottle, upon bottling, is more than 31 months. Add to that at least a year of bottle conditioning, and it will have reached a weighted age of more than 43 months. Compared to blend 54, this blend roughly has an inverted proportion of two- and five-year-old lambik.

golden, small white head that soon disappears
super nice rounded and smooth lambic aroma, not that tart or sour, almost more like oranges than citrus fruits, and then a lot of wood and a bit of wild grain fields in the nature.
flavor has a lot of leather and wood, almost too much, and a mild sour base. flavor is also very rounded and smooth, the end is dry and woody, and goes more sour. I think it is much more sour than i immediatly could taste - the wood and leather covers up the sourness.

Tåkete brun med hvitt luftig skum. Lukter svovel, fat og litt sitrus. Syrlig og tørr. Plomme, eple og svovel i smak.
