Brewed in Lembeek, town that gave Lambic its name, by Frank Boon, premiere revivalist brewer in Belgium. 100% spontaneously fremented by wild yeast, barrel aged for 2 years...
Oude Geuze Boon Black Label is the driest gueuze we've ever made. Combining a full-bodied taste with nearly 100% fermentation degree was a big challenge...
Raspberry lambic was once a rarity and only produced for a few weeks during the summer. Frank Boon was the first brewer to again prepare a raspberry lambic in the summer of 1976...
For this speciality, we use old and young lambic beer that has aged in our oak casks. When the lambic is 6 months old, we add 25% black cherries. This provokes the second fermentation...
The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonises with the oak barrels’ aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripened. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense.
The Megablend 2021 is a blend of young and old lambic from all HORAL members (Boon, De Oude Cam, De Troch, Hanssens, Tilquin, Lambiek Fabriek, Lindemans, Mort Subite, Oud Beersel and Timmermans)...
Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the brewery this perfectly crafted Oude Gueuze is sharp, funky and bone dry with a spritzy carbonation and lasting length.
Lambic beers aged for three years in oak barrels enter into a union with major consequences. This is a blissful marriage with a mild and full-bodied flavour. A match that gets even better with age.
The HORAL Oude Geuze Megablend 2019 is a blend of lambics originating from 8 producers (Boon, De Oude Cam, De Troch, Hanssens, Lindemans, Oud Beersel, Tilquin and Timmermans).
Previously 6%.
All of Boon unblended 'old' lambics are listed here. (Age at least one year.)
So also the ratings of Casks 17B and 52 which were shipped to the USA should be over here.
Boon Brewery uses the turbid-wort method. At 6 am, we mix ground corn and water and let it settle, before cooking for a few minutes. We add boiling water to the mash, after which the mixture becomes sweeter. We then let the mixture come to rest in the mixing kettle, before tapping the sweet wort to the second boiler. Then it’s time to add aged hops for a longer boil. At night, the beer is left in an open cooling vessel. The shutters of the brewing room allow air-borne yeasts to come into contact with the wort. The next morning we pump the cooled wort into the wooden barrels, where it begins to ferment spontaneously after 2 to 3 days.
