Brouwerij Boon Horal's Oude Geuze Mega Blend

The aroma consists of barnyard funk, horse blanket, lemon, grass, hay, and straw. The taste is dry, funky, barnyard, horse blanket, and lemon. There is a really dry finish with some pepper and grass as well. The alcohol content is 7.0% ABV. I thoroughly enjoyed the geuze and its overly funky flavor. It really hit all of the flavor notes I expect out of a geuze, and I would recommend it.
