Foeder No. 108 is a 10,000 liter barrel from 1935, which comes from an old brewery, where the beers contain a lot of volatile acids. The Lambic of this foeder enriched the character of many Boon blends.
This Oude Geuze is an blend of one, two and three year old lambic aged in oak foeders. Bottled on November 29, 2017. Typical of this Edition N°4 are the crisp notes of citrus and green apple as well as the strong sparkle, with a dry aftertaste.
The very subtle, elegant and tender taste of this Oude Geuze from the oval shaped foeder 91, which was used in Normandy as a calvados barrel. This foeder creates excellent, tender Lambic, ideal for Oude Geuze. VAT 91 is soft, round, full-bodied, complex and balanced.
The very wine-like accents in this Oude Geuze are combined with a clear 'old beer' character, which ensures a firm & robust taste with unmistakable, but not overwhelming, volatile acids. This barrel from 1935 comes from another brewery, where the beers contain volatile acids.
Oude Geuze Boon VAT 110 owes its slightly dry, but very full-bodied taste, with a hint of vanilla and dry fruit, to foeder Nr. 110. This foeder was previously used as a cognac barrel and is used by Boon as a Lambic foeder since 2009.
