Oude Geuze Boon à l'Ancienne - VAT 79 Mono Blend

Lambic - Gueuze

A "mono- blend" of which 90 % consists of Lambic from cask No. 79 (brewed on 19-20 October 2011) and 10% young Lambic. The beer has been bottled on December 17, 2014. Cask 79 has a special story. Indeed, it is the oldest cask of the brewery. It has a capacity of 6700 liters and was made by the Persenaire firm in Antwerp in 1883. For a vessel of this size should have been quickly used oak for at least 200 years before, which means that the wood for these vessels is over 300 years old. The attenuation is 93%, so this golden Gueuze is not quite dry. With its 9% ABV it does have a very full-bodied, with aromas of ripe apples, vanilla, notes of oak, peach and nutmeg. All this with a nice acid balance!

The carbonation has gone the way of the Dodo on this one. Still bone dry, puckering and some nice apple dessert on maple syrup flavours. Amazing but the carbonation is missed.

Volgens mij de slechtste die Boon op de markt heeft... Smaakt naar een mengeling van lambiek en wijn maar is allesbehalve een streling voor de tong

Great sour aroma, a Hood mix og sour, fruit and a Tony hint of funk and a light wood element. Light sour flavour, very smooth and has light oak finish.

This has an overt oak character I don’t understand coming from old foeders. Maybe it’s not actually oak derived? Also medicinal, some citrus. Relatively soft. Shows some alcohol. The least impressive of the several Vat bottles we’ve had recently.

not sour at all, mildly sweet and easy drinking, nice oak barrel flavor on the end - should age nicely if you can hold onto it for longer

Lidt som cider, og dog slet ikke. Og lidt flad i smagen. Dufter rigtig godt, men leverer ikke helt.
