It is a tribute to the brewing and farming heritage from 1876-1964. It has a thick head atop a hazy pale orange body. The aroma is fruity with notes of green plums, preserved apricots, apples and a hint of wood, sherry and lemon peel. The taste is crisp, lively and sparkling accompanied by a subtle sweet undertone of apricots. The finish is a noble wood note without overshadowing the fruitiness. This unique blend exhibits exceptional complexity and will benefit from further aging to enhance its charms. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFood Pairings:\u003cbr\u003eSharp, tangy and stinky cheeses.

At that time, there were only two farms, an inn, a watermill and a brewery. Brewing began in 1864, during the rise of Gueuze in the 19th century. For four generations and over a period of 100 years, lambic beer was brewed at Sollenberg.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe decline of Gueuze (1960-1990) marked a period when many old breweries were closed – including Sollenberg. However, the recent worldwide interest in authentic Gueuze brewing and blending breathed new life into the style. Fortunately, many artifacts were saved, including old glasses, bottles and crates, preserving the heritage of both brewers and farmers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBranded as \u003cbr\u003eBoerenerf, it is now a blending facility and receives lambic wort from 5 different lambic brewers: 3 Fonteinen, De Troch, Lindemans, Den Herberg and Angerik. In 2021, their first release sourced only ingredients sourced from the Zenne Valley and Pajottenland. Boerenerf’s ambition remains to work as locally and organically as possible. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Option1","offer_id":51255070228765,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/2797\/6477\/files\/img_010123_d626e46b-dee8-42d3-91c3-38cc89ea2cff.jpg?v=1778093241","url":"https:\/\/purewinestore.com\/products\/boerenerf-gueuze-cuvee-heritage-750ml-spirits8-f11-p758","provider":"purewinestore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
