Story & Heritage

ABOUT THIS BEER

Boon's premium geuze, a 'perfect marriage' of the brewery's oldest and finest lambics. Drier and more intense than its standard Oude Geuze.

On the Gueuze style, The "Champagne of Brussels". A blend of young and old lambics, bottle-conditioned. Intensely dry, sour, cider-like, and highly carbonated.

THE MONK'S NOTE

Pour it into a lambic glass, served around 6-8°C, and let its aromatics open before the first sip. Patience rewards this one: a few years in the cellar will round it into something deeper.
