Boon Gueuze Mariage Parfait 75cl

Style and Colour: Traditional unsweetened, unfiltered gueuze.

Taste: Notes of citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon), woody aromas (vanilla, clove, oak) and phenolic components which are reminiscent of whisky. Vinous acids and the taste of young apples round off the whole.

Alcohol: 8 % ABV

Drinking Temperature: 12° C  

Fermentation: Assembly ( match ) of 3 years old Lambics . Lambic is fermented by exposure to wild yeasts and bacteria. This lambic, with a very high degree of fermentation, is aged in oak barrels. After a long re-fermentation in the bottle (+/- 1 year), we obtain a very special Gueuze of 8 % Alc. Vol.

The Brewery: In 1975, Frank Boon took over ‘geuzestekerij  De Vits’ in Lembeek. The roots of this brewery date back to 1680. 

Origin: Lambic is a type of beer brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium southwest of Brussels. Brewed in Lembeek, the village that gave Lambic its name. It is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts and bacteria. Oude Gueuze’ label was accorded legal protection by the European Union. Brewers are now only allowed to call their product Oude Gueuze if the older lambic used in the process has been aged for three years, has matured in oak barrels and is free of any artificial sweeteners.

Food: Pairs wonderfully with mussels, crab, asparagus, duck, eggs and waffles.
