In the end, while not my favorite beer, it was good, new, and interesting. I'll have to give this type of beer another try one day.

Gueze Boon Old Style
Oude Geuze Boon is a monument of taste with an alcohol content of 7%. It’s a magnificent blend of 90% mild 18 month-old lambic, 5% strong 3 year-old beer and 5% very young lambic, which provides fermentable sugars and wild yeasts. All our beers are aged in oak casks, mixed in a vessel of 25,000 litres and chilled. Before bottling, we bring the mix to fermentation temperature. The bottles are then placed in an air-conditioned room, which leads to a secondary fermentation in the bottle. This is when the lambic becomes gueuze. After several months of aging in the bottle, the gueuze develops its delicate flavour. Want to know the bottling date? Simply subtract 20 years from the “best before” date!
Oude Gueze Boon
Oude Geuze Boon is een monument van smaak en heeft een alcoholvolume van 7%. Het bestaat voor 90% uit malse lambiek van 18 maanden oud, 5% karaktervol bier van 3 jaar en 5% heel jonge lambiek, die zorgt voor vergistbare suikers en levensvatbare gisten. Al onze bieren zijn gerijpt op eikenhouten foeders. We vermengen ze in een mengvat van 25.000 liter en bewaren het mengsel koel. Om te bottelen brengen we de geuze weer op gistingstemperatuur. We plaatsen de flessen in een geklimatiseerde ruimte, zodat de geuze kan nagisten op fles. Na enkele maanden rijping in de flessen krijgt deze geuze zijn fijne smaak. Wilt u de botteldatum kennen? Trek dan van de houdbaarheidsdatum 20 jaar af.
