This directly contradicts statements made to the [https://www.lambic.info Lambic.Info] staff from Stene, the owner of Akkurat, who reported that it was a unique blend made for their bar. 
 
  
Additionally, this now leads to confusion about the blend.  50/50 is reportedly a blend of three year old Boon and one year old Lindemans.  However, J&J Rose is a blend of 3-year old [[Brouwerij_Girardin|Girardin]] lambic with 1-year old Boon lambic.

3 Fonteinen Akkurat Oude Geuze 50/50

← 3 Fonteinen

Description

Akkurat's Oude Geuze 50/50 is the same beer as Geuze Cuvée J&J Roze. When part of the batch was provided to Akkurat, a different label was created with Armand's knowledge because Joost and Jessie's wedding label did not make sense for this beer when sold in Sweden. [1]

Fewer than 50 of these bottles were sent to Akkurat and they are no longer available. [1]
