About

Boon Oude Geuze Vat 31 is a single-vat lambic, spontaneously fermented in oak and crowned world's best gueuze at the 2021 World Beer Awards. The base lambic matured for more than four years in Vat 31, a German oak barrel from the early 1900s, before being bottled as this distinctive mono-blend. The nose reveals apricot and hazelnut notes, supported by a clear oak character. On the palate, funky esters intertwine with tart green apple acidity and a pleasant cognac-like warmth. Fine carbonation carries the complex flavours to a dry, lingering finish marked by hints of straw and aged wood.
