Commercial Description:
Old sour beer is blended with sweet young beer before bottling to create a beer with a sour nose, sweet taste, and a slight sour aftertaste. Ichtegem’s goes great with shrimp or can also be used to marinate various kinds of meat in.

Clean aroma, hints of cherries and dark berries. Pours reddish brown with a dense off white head that doesn’t last long. Sweet malts caramelly, fruity, but trace hints of a sourness, very sugary. They need to up the old beer and lower the young in the blending. I wouldn’t say its a sour ale at all.

750ml bottle thanks for the trade Tyler. Pours dark brown with a tan ring. Nose is light sour with a bit of rotten fruit. Taste is sweet and slightly sour. Very thin, very eh, another sour under the belt.

11.2oz bottle, labeled "old brown", 5% alcohol, purchased from Embassy in Warren, MI. Pours a bright, slightly oily ruby color; minimal head formation. Lots of overripe red fruits, very lightly tart citrus and balsamic notes in the aroma; touches of metallic notes and quite overripe. Medium mouthfeel: again, lightly tart citrus and overripe red fruits (cherries, esp.); solid but not overly pungent balsamic character, and a decent amount of acidity; the metallic note seems even more pronounced at the beginning than the nose suggests, then starts to dissipate to mixed red fruits and reasonably pleasant citrus; messy, but not as flabby as many of the balsamic-laden sour ales. Medium finish: overripe red fruits, metallic notes, and balsamic; the metallic note lingers.

Light unclear medium red brown color with a average, frothy - creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, roasted, caramel, berry - raisin, light berry sour. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and only very light sour with a average long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (030708)
