The VAT 122 in this new four-part series of Boon Mono Blends, described by the brewery as tender, vinous, oaky and frangipane-like - sounds totally different from the VAT 59 I just had, this series just never gets boring. Egg-white, medium thick, bit uneven-bubbled and irregular, slowly opening head, a tad less stable than on the VAT 59; hazy apricot blonde with warm old golden glow and delicate, sparse sparkling. Aroma of unripe nectarine, oxidized Granny Smith apple, small sour grapes, old books on dusty oak shelves, dandelion leaves, dry hay, cucumber peel, hard Conferende pears, withering woodsorrel, hints of old cheese rind, very old and oxidized rosé wine, grated raw horse radish. Very crisp onset, lots of vivid carbonation with lovely crystalline effects; estery fruitiness of gooseberry, wrinkled old green apples and raw rhubarb, more acidic than the VAT 59 I just had, but still on the 'malse' side; full, rounded body, indeed a tad vinous but only very slightly more so than others in this series, with a bready and rusk-like backbone, buried under a heap of ongoing sour-green fruitiness, drying lactic tartness, woody tannins and cheesy-funky Brett notes, the latter bringing the typical 'horseblanket' association without interfering too much with the play of sour and tannic dryness, which delivers a juicy, very quenching, rich ending, again 'warmed' a bit by a soft afterglow of 'jenever'-ish alcohol - fortunately, as always in this series, the alcohol does not interfere at all with the flavour. Yet another beautiful creation in this enticing series, indeed among the softer, more vinous and elegantly fruity ones perhaps, though the 'frangipane' association made by the brewery is just a bit too far a stretch for me...

Zythos 2022. Golden colour with fizzy head. This is very close to classic Boon. Really clean. Minerally.
