Boon Oude Geuze VAT 91 Monoblend 19/12/2016 37.5cl

All oak barrels in the Boon brewery have their own history and are characterized by unique microflora of wild yeasts. The bottles of Oude Geuze “VAT” are a combination of one specific wooden barrel (mono) and a minimal percentage of young Lambic (blend), which starts the refermentation in the bottle. The use of Lambic from one specific oak barrel (such barrels are also called “casks”) creates geuzes with very idiosyncratic characteristics: wine-like, whiskey-like, bone-dry or very tender. The number on the bottle always refers to the barrel number.

VAT 91
The very subtle, elegant and tender taste of Oude Geuze VAT 91 comes from cask No. 91, formerly used as a calvados barrel in Normandy. Now this cask creates excellent, tender Lambic, ideal for Oude Geuze. VAT 91 is soft, round, full-bodied, complex and balanced. The unique oval shape of cask 91 ensures optimal use of the cask hall.
