Gueuze 7 º

Boerenerf

Boerenerf Oude Gueuze presents a masterful display of traditional blending, where the harmony of young and old lambics creates a vibrant sensory landscape. The profile is defined by a lively, moderately high acidity and a deep, multi-layered funk—reminiscent of aged leather, dusty hay, and earthy barnyard notes. Bright citrus rind and crisp green apple provide a fruity counterpoint to the subtle, bready wheat backbone and delicate oak nuances. This Gueuze is exceptionally dry and effervescent, delivering a sophisticated, sparkling experience that balances sharp tartness with a soft, velvety texture and a long, complex, funky finish.

Appearance. Radiant golden hue (approx. 5-6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a dense, mousse-like, rocky white head that demonstrates exceptional retention. Highly effervescent with visible rising bubbles.

Aroma. Moderately high intensity. Complex, balanced funkiness featuring notes of horse blanket, hay, and dry earth. Fruit-forward esters of rhubarb, lemon zest, and green apple are supported by a faint, honeyed wheat malt character and a touch of neutral oak.

Taste. Sharp but balanced lactic sourness leads into a tapestry of funk, echoing the aroma's leather and barnyard qualities. Low bready malt flavor provides a brief foundation. No hop flavor or bitterness is perceived. The finish is bone-dry and crisp, leaving a lingering aftertaste of citrus rind and funky yeast character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, velvety texture. High carbonation provides a prickly sensation. Notable puckering tartness is present without harsh astringency. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is detectable.
