Oude Geuze Boon à l'Ancienne - VAT 31 Mono Blend

Lambic - Gueuze

The lambic in foeder no. 31 aged for four and a half years before it became this Oude Geuze. It’s typified by its fine carbonation and pleasant cognac-like nose. The fluent and mellow but strong aroma with hints of apricots and walnuts is supported by a clear oak character. Brewed on 30 November 2015, bottled on 14 May 2020.

Nose is cheesy, funky, not typical for Boon. No brett in aroma. Taste is lemony, not too acidic. Lots of carbonation, great mouthfeel.

4.20. Medium head, low acidity, outstanding bitterness. Strong barrel-aged characteristic. Not so dry TBH. Mellow finish. The middle part of the flavor is not so enjoyable but I love the finish.

Redelijk koolzuur en schuim, niet zo funky, lichtzurig met toch wat overheersende toetsen van eik (niet zo sterk als de Vat 86). Nog een klein zoetje in de smaak, niet zo droog, en een klein bittertje. Voor mij zeker niet de beste Vat, maar wel een goede

Fresh nose.. lemon, yellow fruit, nice complex taste with pronounced bitter in the aftertaste. Very good beer.. interesting habit by Boon to bottle some of the ‘mono blends’

Dry old lambic funk (4.5 years op foeder), surprising amount of carb at first but then feeling the light body, decent alcohol warming and light apricot retronasal (no citrus / apple ) , wooden / barrel character is soo present

Close to perfection. Het natuurlijk zuur onderbroken door de bitter van eik toets en cognac aroma.

A rare beer, single vat (rather than blended). Brewed 30th November 2015, aged 4 1/2 years and bottled 14th May 2020. Cider-esque in flavour, with a little sweetness. Oaked character discernible too.

Extremely mellow and rounded geuze. Oaky with noticeable bitterness. Doesn't have the boon "cheese" - more of a nutty characteristic. One of my least favourite from this series.

Doet me denken aan een stevigere mariage parfait met duidelijk het droge en funky karakter dat ik er zo goed aan vind. Favoriet uit de vat serie tot nu toe !
