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.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 15.06.2040) im 2025-08 getrunken. Diese orange Gueuze kommt wie eine Schneekugel mit einer ordentlichen Portion an Hefe-Flocken daher. Hier finden sich klassiche, wunderbar ausgewogene Gueuze Aromen mit floralen Noten, feinen Weinessig, Hefe und Eichenholz des Oak Foeders.

Boon / Mikkeller Oude Geuze Boon, Bone Dry Mikkeller Selection. 7% ABV, not 6,4%. This is NOT black label edition, but is Yellow label Mikkeller dry hopped version. It was diffrent version than black label. I don't understand why ratebeer pairing that two version to one? mocno chmielny lambick, wytrawny bardzo, lekko cierpki, musujacy, spore nagazowanie, piana napowietrzona jakby. skromnie z metnoscia, poteznie wytrawne i kwaskowo-cytrusowe. mimo to wole klasyczne gueuze Boon'a niz eksperymenty Mikkellera w tym stylu.

Slightly opalescent golden colour, large off-white head, which lasts, for a few minutes; aroma of acetone, some citric and acetic acidy, woody, tannins, unripe fruity and grape, barnyard, earthy, vinous, some leather, and even some hoppy bittery notes; taste is similar to the aroma; good one

0.75l bottle thanks to Lore. Slighgly opaque golden body with a huge white head that collapses to a nice lace. Aroma of some cellar notes, bready malts, hay, lemon zest, white pepper and some earthy notes. Taste of lemon and orange zest, cellar notes, white pepper, grape must and some earthy hops. Great beer, one of the gueuzes with less vinegar and funk.
