Boom Island Oude Funk, The Spontaneous Series, 2015. "Brewed with aged hops and is a blend of 1 year , 2 year, and 2 year old vintages, and fermented in oak wine barrels. 4.8% ABV. Best before 2025."Well, I couldn't wait that long. Five months was all I could do. (Note: I bought the bottle in December, finally opened it in early June, publishing those notes now.)
Still white head, bright golden straw color, high carbonation.
Screaming wild & funky & sour right from the start. Very gueuze-like. All the horses' blankets and everything under and around them.
In the mouth: Funky-see, funky-do. The oak comes through the wine character evident. Fresh sour splash with each new sip. Light-bodied, extra-consumable. Smooth, refreshing, funky, wild and delicious.
A great achievement from Boom Island. Quite a piece of work. These guys are on the right track.
