Boon - Geuze Mariage Parfait (2007)

Traditional Belgian lambic. 100% spontaneously fermented. Re-fermented in the bottle. Tart, dry, sparkling and refreshing.

I had this at Monk's on a Belgium beer sampling day.   

The ABV is 8.0 and the IBU rating is ??
Style - Lambic Geuze
Glass to use- Flute, Snifter or Tulip
Delivery - 355ml Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours an amber color with no head. Very slight lacing.
Aroma - Sweet, fruit and floral. Peat, leather, slightly pungent.
Taste -  Sweet, citrus fruit, tart and a hint of sour.
Mouth Feel - Too much carbonation for an aged beer.  Dry finish that vanishes.
Drinkable - Very drinkable, I do not remember ever sampling a standard lambic.  I usually go for the fruit lambics.  This is a good brew which will do well during the warmer months.  

This beer may pair well with pungent cheese.

This beer gets a Duper rating of A.
BeerAdvocate Rating =A-
Ratebeer Rating = 98
