Den Herberg Oude Geuze Thevenet à l' anciennce
Description
2024 was the 150th anniversary of the birth of Louis Thevenet, a famous painter from Halle. For this occasion, Den Herberg collaborated with den AST and Villa Servais to develop a special geuze, a unique blend of eleven different barrels of lambic, aged in old red and white wine barrels made of French and American oak.
Kloris Devillé from Den Herberg describes the geuze as such: "This Oude Geuze has a lively palette of flavors, much like one might find in a masterful painting. The subtly woven minerality forms a canvas on which the depth of the composition is built, while the complexity of the geuze, thanks to the former red and white wine barrels, unveils a rich and varied palette of aromas and flavors, almost like masterful brushstrokes."
Side Notes
Six different labels were designed, each featuring a different painting by Thevenet. The percentage of 3-year-old lambic is higher than in the Gueuze Devillé.
