Brouwerij Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait (2011) Gueuze at 8% ABV (€6.10 at Belgian Beer Tradition Rue au Buerre Bruxelles, 375 ml, best before 24-Apr-2034, reviewed 6-Jan-2016)
Appearance: clear pale amber with a fluffy two fingers of ivory head, good retention and patchy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: complex, barnyard funk, vinous, woody. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter, moderate-strong tart. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, lively carbonation, crisp tart finish. (4/5)
Whew… glad I got to drink that one before it went off… Though now I wish I had another one to cellar for another couple of decades! An excellent example of the Flemish Gueuze style, with lots of horseblankety funk and vinous champagne character. (17/20)
My 209th from the 2010 Edition (198th from the 2013 edition), and 220th combining both editions.
