Description
Since 1975, Boon Brewery has been owned and run by Frank Boon, one of the pioneers of the authentic lambic and gueuze revival. But the first signs of the brewery date back to 1680, as a farm-brewery and distillery in the village of Lembeek. In 1860 Louis Paul bought the brewery to brew only lambic and faro. From 1875, he began bottling gueuze lambic. In 1898, Pierre Troch bought the brewery. But after the economic crisis of 1927, it came into the hands of Joseph De Vits. His son, Rene is renowned for the production of soft and fine gueuze lambic. As Rene De Vits had no children, he sold the brewery to Frank Boon.

Deep golden amber with a white head. Lemony citrus, wood, light acidity, honey, a touch of funk. Finish has a slightly sour fruit profile with wood and comes in somewhat dry. A simple offering but a tasty one.

(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.

Aus der Flasche im 2026-07 getrunken. Diese trübe, goldene Gueuze hat ein leichtes Wein und Essig Aroma. Der Hefeeinfluss ist deutlich und leichte Eichenaromen sind auch zu entdecken. Sehr gut ausbalanciert. Toll für den Sommer!

Aus der Flasche im 2026-07 getrunken. Diese trübe, goldene Gueuze zeigt ein recht komplexes Aromaprofil von Hefe, leichte Citrus-, Weinessig-, Misthaufen-Aromen. Die Säure ist hier recht aktiv und der Körper sorgt für einen langen Abgang. Spannend!

Aus der Flasche im 2026-07 getrunken. Diese trübe, goldene Gueuze ausgewogene Aromen wo man neben einer Citrussäure eine deutliche Hefe und Eichenaroma durch das 5 jährige BA. Die Säure ist hier moderat und der Körper sorgt für einen langen Abgang. Sehr klassisch!

Huge, receding whitish head over ochre-ish golden beer, lightly veiled. Sour grapes & raisins, horseblankte, dried flowers and immortelles, lemon. Dry, horseblanket, farmyard, dried lemonpeel, mushrooms, leather, green apples carrying just a tad sweetness. Ultra-dry, very well-carbonated, acidthinning but still very mals. Excellent gueuze, the complexity telling about the lagering as said in the blurb. Txs to Stef!

Yet, despite the well deserved praise, the question might be raised if this is a true new beer, or rather a batch of Boon Oude Geuze...
