Boon Gueuze Lambic
Okay – before you even talk about this beer, you need to understand that a true Lambic can only be made in a couple of places on Earth – the Lambic region of Belgium being one of those. These guys boil grains and then leave open vats full of wort sitting in the air so that the yeasts that exist wild in the air will naturally fall into the wort and ferment. It’s like a damn wonder of nature. That being said, this beer is very interesting. It pours a nice dark golden, and smells a sort of salty pungent. The flavor is unlike any beer. It has a silky texture and a very sour flavor with a slightly syrupy finish. The aftertaste sticks with a sour coating throughout the mouth. While this isn’t a daily drinker at all, I can see the appeal, and I might be tempted to try other varieties
