History / Other Notes

This Boon/Mikkeller Oude Geuze collaboration is the fourth in a series of collaborations with Mikkeller. The name Goût Américain translates to "American Taste" and is a nod to the perception that the American palate prefers beers with a sharper, sometimes more acetic edge.

Rear label text:
Acetic sting, an off-flavor to us, an acquired taste for others. Such as with this blend of 1, 2, and 3 yr old lambic now, in the past some champagne bottles would be given the name "Goût Americain" ("American taste") when they were typified by a high amount of volatile acidity. With this in mind, we developed this limited edition both high in acidity while maintaining a delicate balance that is both complex and fruity. Pair this special blend with sharp cheeses or simply as an aperitif.
