Season 2021-2022. Assemblage n°57. Bottled on 31/03/2022. "For this Oude Geuze Platinum Blend, we blended lambikken originating from four different barrels and nine different brews. We used one- two- and four-year old lambikken, in a 27/30/43 proportion and finished the blend with some freshly brewed wort. This way, the weighted average age of this bottle, upon bottling, clocks at to more than 30 months. Add to that at least a full year of bottle conditioning, and it will have reached a weighted age of more than 42 months. Almost 40% of the blend consists of lambikken brewed with grains form our own Cereal Collective."

Gueuze made with a blend of easy-drinking lambics

Gueuze made with a blend of easy-drinking lambics

"In the past Port wine was shipped to the harbours of Bruges and Antwerp on wooden barrels of 650 liters, called ‘pipes’ or ‘pijpen’ in Dutch. Some of these barrels were purchased by Lambic breweries and have contained Lambic for many generations. Some barrels have been circulating in other, some defunct, Lambic breweries before finding their final place in the barrel cellars of Oud Beersel. We have blended the finest Lambics of on average 20 months old matured on these ‘old pipes’ of between 60 and 120 years old, to create an Oude Geuze with the characteristics of these old barrels."

Magnum. "The Gueuze Tilquin à l’ancienne (7.0% alc / vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon. The taste is tart and dry but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze à l’ancienne particularly accessible for non-experts. It will also delight fans of the genre for its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness because of the youth of the oak barrels used, as they still release some tannins. It has a fresh lemony nose."

You'll get a random label amongst the 6 avaialble. "In 2024, 150 years will have passed since the birth of Louis Thevenet; a famous painter from Halle. To celebrate this occasion, Brewery 'Den Herberg', in collaboration with 'den AST' and 'Villa Servais', developed a 'Geuze Thevenet.' It is a unique blend of eleven different barrels of lambic, aged in old (red and white) wine barrels made out of French and American oak. Kloris Devillé from Den Herberg describes the geuze as follows: "This 'Oude Geuze' has a lively palette of flavors, much like one might find in a masterful painting. The subtly woven minerality forms a canvas on which the depth of the composition is built, while the complexity of the geuze, thanks to the former red and white wine barrels, unveils a rich and varied palette of aromas and flavors, almost like masterful brushstrokes.". Six different labels were designed, each featuring a different painting by Thevenet from the collection of 'den AST'. This allows beer enthusiasts to simultaneously enjoy works such as 'Hôtel de Bruxelles', '’t Wit Paard', 'De Weg-Om', and 'Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Halle onder stolp'. It's a little preview of the grand Thevenet exhibition, which will be on display on March 23 (2024), at 'den AST' and 'Villa Servais'.." Percentage of 3 YO old lambic is higher than in the Gueuze Devillé.

Blend of young & old lambics

Season 2018-2019. Assemblage #36 bottled on 28/01/2019. "This specific Cuvée Armand & Gaston was assembled with lambics from 8 different barrels that originate from 8 different brews. The average age of this blend at bottling was 18 months = 55% young + 30% semi-old + 15% old lambic."

"Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait has an alcohol content of 8%. It consists of 95% mild lambic, aged at least three years and specially reserved for this purpose, and 5% young lambic. The latter provides the fermentable sugars and wild yeasts. After mixing in a vessel of 25,000 litres, the wort (unfermented mixture) is filtered and chilled. If we are bottling, we bring it back to fermentation temperature. The bottles are placed in a climate-controlled space for the secondary fermentation. This is followed by maturing at low temperature for at least 6 months. Want to know the bottling date? Simply subtract 20 years from the “best before” date!
The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonises with the oak barrels’ aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense. Sublime."

'"Artisanal Gueuze, blended from lambic brewed on site and aged on Barolo foeders."

"Gueuze Cuvée René is one of the jewels of our brewery. With its golden colour, its sparkle and its beautiful sherry aromas, this is the queen of gueuzes. This old gueuze is a blend of old and young lambic matured in large oak barrels called foudres. It is then bottled in a beautiful champagne bottle where a second fermentation takes place. After 6 months, the gueuze obtains a golden colour and is slightly carbonated and tart. But kept in a cellar for a few years, it becomes truly exceptional!"

"To all lovers of lambic and geuze, meet our newest creation: Lindemans Pure Oude Gueuze! This exclusive monoblend is a masterpiece, made with lambic that has aged for seven years on a single, large oak foeder. Only 12,000 bottles were filled"
