12/01/2020	375ml	85th blend of the 2019-2020 season. This Doesjel was bottled on the 1st of December of 2020 and was intended to be an Oude Geuze. Because of th high proportion of older lambikken, the fermentation did not continue in the bottle and the blended lambik beer remained flat. The yeast dozed in, hence the name, a local dialect for the typical little sleepy knock you get over at noon. In return, with a natural-white-wine-like aroma and malty citrussy taste, the resulting beer is a subtle lambik blend, with a weighted average age of about 30 months upon its release. The oldest lambikken were brewed at the beginning of 2018.
