Oude Geuze BOON VAT 108bis

Foeder N°108 is a cask made in 1935 which Boon acquired 22 years ago.

108 cask originates from a former brewery where it was used for beers with a high level of volatile acidity. The lambic of this foeder enriched the character of Boon’s geuze blends.  The brew of April 27, 2016 was the last production that has aged in this foeder (cask) and was bottled on November 28, 2018.

The Lambic for Oude Geuze Boon VAT 108 bis has aged for 2 years and 7 months in foeder N°108. After bottling it has spent more than a year ageing and is now ready to be enjoyed. With apparent refermentation of 89%, this geuze is not harsh, but has a nice sour balance. The alcohol percentage is 8% (ABV).  The wine-like accents in this Oude Geuze are combined with a clear ‘old beer’ character which causes for a strong and robust taste with unmistakable, but not overwhelming volatile acidity.
