Huge, very dense & fine off-white head over hazy orange-golden beer, very lively carbonated. Rubber, basketshoes, and then an explosion of horseblankte, immortelles, mushrooms, kari leaves, laurel. Sweetish (the alcohol working!), immortelles, horseblanket, again a wild mushroom flavour, oakleaves. Quantum level complexity. Hay and some faint leatherpolish in the aftertaste, together with some not really-sweet apples. Very good carbonation, slick, slight acidburn. Alcohol only revealed by the light sweetness. Arguably one of the most stellar gueuzes ever. Txs to Stef!

Bottle shared at BBGG. Clear golden with hige white head. Very typical Boon funk, peach, sweet malts, dry oak, sulphur. Very fruity but also solod funky. Under medium sour, medium sweet. Almost full bodied. Nice but a bit boozy.

Bouteille 75cl, bottled 04/12/2024, BB 04/12/2044, lot# L43391.
Dorée, léger voile, avec une ouverture explosive assez typique des gueuzes de Boon heureusement sans conséquences, le col est blanc épais très actif pour ce genre de bière et présente une belle rétention.
Une grande classique qui vient célébrer l’amitié entre Frank Boon et Jeff Colruyt. Un caractère très Boon en bouche – cela se ressent dans l’assemblage – le tout reste extrêmement actif en bouche et mérite certainement encore qcq années en cave. Je retrouve un funk plaisant couplé avec une allure pouvant rappeler la Mariage Parfait avec ces 8% - qui n’est déjà pas mal pour une gueuze – alors que récemment Boon nous gratifie d’une cuvée Mariage Parfait anniversaire à 10%.

Aromas are slightly tart raspberries, malt and a bit floral. Flavors are similar to nose and sweet tart. Fairly straightforward basic fruit lambic. Not nearly as good as they used to be many years ago.

On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours a very dark maroon with minimal off-white head and medium carbonation. There’s figs, malts and berries in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with a little underlying sharpness. Initial flavours are malts, figs, raisins and cherries but later on come nuts, red berries and hints of caramel as well leading to a somewhat fruity finish. This is quite nice – and definitely a grower !
Magus, hapu, funky, tsitrus, vesine, nats mineraalne. Hea.
