Gueuze made from lambics aged in Whisky

"Special blend to celebrate the 142th birthday of Oud Beersel. Only contains foederlambic, with an average age of almost 3 years. Characterful Oude Geuze with great depth and fantastic ageing potential."

"This Oude Geuze is made from 2-year-old Lambic that matured for 18 months on calvados casks. The wood contributes recognizable Calvados notes of apple, peel and a hint of pear, supported by a fine oak structure that frames the fresh acidity. The finish remains clean, dry and refreshing. "

"For this Oude Geuze, 2-year-old Lambic matured for 18 months on cognac casks. The previous cognac ageing leaves a refined impression of dried fruit, grape-like warmth and elegant oak, layered onto the vinous character of Lambic. The finish is dry, long and complex."

"Oude Geuze Oud Beersel – Reborn – Brewers Edition (75cl) is a unique anniversary blend celebrating 20 years since the reopening of Oud Beersel. This Brewers Edition was born from an exceptional international collaboration: brewers from Norway, Mexico, Romania, New Zealand, Poland, Australia, Luxembourg, Austria, and Chile travelled to Oud Beersel to taste and select lambics straight from the wooden barrels, and to craft one shared blend together.

Reborn is built around 4-year-old lambic from Demi-Muids (630 L) with a pronounced vanilla note, blended with younger lambic from Oud Beersel’s Oude Pijpen (650 L). The combination of barrel types, ages, and this collective selection results in an unusually elegant Oude Geuze—an international collaboration that showcases lambic tradition and craftsmanship to the world.

"This Oude Geuze starts with 2-year-old Lambic and then matured for 18 months on rum casks. The wood still carries traces of rum, bringing hints of molasses, cane sugar and soft vanilla that weave naturally into the Lambic profile. After bottle refermentation, the finish is long and elegant with a warm, gently spiced touch."
