Belgium·Gueuze
Tap to rate

A light-alcohol lambic called Meerts, or March beer, is blended with one- and two-year-old lambics matured in oak and refermented in stainless-steel kegs or Keykegs. The taste is tart and dry, the nose lemony. At 5.3 %, this unfiltered, unpasteurised gueuze is made from wort by Boon, Lindemans and Girardin, with 60 % malted barley and 40 % wheat and only aged hops in the boil.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and immediately tart, with pronounced sourness from the blend of one- and two-year-old lambics. The mid-palate emphasizes dry wheat character and continues the citric thread, while minimal bitterness allows the fermented complexity to dominate. Clean, refreshing finish with no harsh edges.

◑ Finish
