HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend
A bottle of HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend 2013 at the 22nd Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation.
HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend is made for Tour de Geuze, the bi-annual tour of geuze blenders and lambic brewers in Flemish Brabant. This bottle was blended at Oud Beersel for Tour de Geuze 2013, using lambic from all 9 HORAL members (3 Fonteinen, Boon, De Oude Cam, De Troch, Hanssens, Lindemans, Oud Beersel, Tilquin and Timmermans). The result is a 7% abv oude geuze, bottled October 29, 2012.
The beer poured a slightly hazy, golden color with a thin, white head. It sported a fruity aroma with hints of brettanomyces. Mouthfeel was medium heavy with a strong, sparkling carbonation. The flavor started out with sour fruits, lemon and green apples most notably. Not much else going on.
This is a relatively simple oude geuze, but refreshingly fruity. It could improve with cellaring.
