Bokke Haddeg 2023 Lambic Gueuze

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Haddeg (2023) is a masterwork of patience from Bokke blender Jan Panneels: a solera-style gueuze drawing on six lambic vintages spanning 2017 to 2023, matured across 18 wine barrels including Port, Burgundy, and Bordeaux casks. The result is a beer of remarkable depth — pouring a hazy golden straw with lively carbonation, it unfolds layers of sharp citrus, ripe orchard fruit, and vinous complexity drawn from years of wine-barrel contact. Earthy funk and a refined, drying acidity carry through to a long, mineral finish.

Food Pairing

Pair with aged hard cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère, whose nutty richness harmonises with the beer’s vinous acidity and funk. Equally compelling alongside grilled scallops with a citrus beurre blanc, where the gueuze’s sharp effervescence cuts through the richness of the sauce.
