Oud Beersel is a Lambic blender with a long heritage but only a short time around in its current incarnation. Oud Beersel had ceased to exist by the beginning of the 21st century, but made a triumphant return in 2007 after Gert Christiaens and Roland De Bus set up a business to buy what had been their favorite Lambic. Today, they contract with Frank Boon at Brouwerij Boon to brew their wort to a recipe they developed.
Appearance: Yellow with a touch of gold and some light haze. Off white head with good retention.
Aroma: Sharp cheese, lime zest, pineapple, lemon cream, with earthy notes.
Taste: Tart with a sweet touch. Earthy finish. Great effervescence.
Overall Impression: This is one of my favorite Geuzes. It’s well-balanced in character without being super sour or super funky. This isn’t an extreme example of a geuze. It is one of the more elegant ones. I would give this a high recommendation.
Availability: Look for it at better beer shops that carry beers from Wetten Importers.
6% ABV
