Paulus Oud Bruin

Brewed by Van Eecke
Style: Sour Ale
Poperinge-Watou, Belgium

Bottle (ZBF2008)
Rich brown, turbid. Sour aroma. Full bodied, a bit sharp and sour like a good old brown ale.

ZBF2008: From bottle. Pours golden hazzlenut brown with a lacing white head. Light spiced, slight acidic fruity and a mild roasted note. Flavour is light citric/acidic. Mild caramel and fruity. Ends lingering fruity.

Dark red brown colour with thin soapy head. Sweet and sour flavour that despite the alcohol content taste bland and weak. Not my favourite style.

Bottle drunk in Zottegem at beerfestival over there. A little sour beer with good malty touch.

Bottle: Poured a reddish brown amber with thin light brown color head. Aroma is roasted and sweet. Slightly sour and tangy with a malty finish.

Red to dark amber color. As Oud Bruin, it’s really mild, sweetish, without character. The final is very weak and short, with just some woody character.

A more subtle, lightly carbonated example of an oud bruin. Malty...less acidic than some other examples, but still has a nice tangy finish, This beer is quite drinkable and enjoyable. The alcohol content is barely detectable. A perfect oud bruin for novices and experts alike.

Clear dark red color. Off white very quickly disappearing head. Very poor carbonation. Aroma of raisins and some caramel. Raisins in the flavor as well. only a bit of sourness. A lot less than what I would expect from a Oud Bruin.
