The oak barrels in our brewery each have their own history and are characterized by unique microflora of wild yeasts. The bottles Old Geuze "VAT" are a combination of one specific wooden barrel (mono) and a small percentage of young Lambic (blend), which starts the fermentation in the bottle. The use of Lambic from one particular oak barrel (such barrels are also called 'foeders') creates gusts with very idiosyncratic characteristics: wine-like, whiskey-like, bone-dry or very tender. The number on the bottle always refers to the vessel number.
This box contains 4 such monoblend geuzes from some of our most famous barrels (91, 110, 108 & 92) - each is different in taste. This makes it ideal as a tasters package or as gift. The tasting booklet explains the different beers and barrels, the art of geuze pouring and tasting, and allows you to write your own tasting notes.
These beers aren't available for purchase in Australia individually, so it is a great way to try some truly spectacular geuzes from a world class brewery.
