Verhaeghe Ouden Bruinen

Brewed by Verhaeghe
Style: Sour Ale
Vichte, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium

Red-brown with beige head. Acidic aroma with notes of soil, cabbage, butter and sweet malt. Sweet flavor with notes of rocks and berries.

A low alcohol beer from Verhaeghe, how interesting! Pours dark redbrown with a fine tan head. Sourish aroma with a vinous tone. Fruity and cheesy notes. Flavor is sweet with a sour edge. Fruity and sugary with vinegar notes. I believe it is made from the same base as the other Verhaeghe beers. Very nice specially for a 3,5% beer! Thanks Jacob for this hard to find brew.

Bottled. Redbrown colur. Sour-ish aroma(raspberries), but malty. Sugary sour-ish flavour. Like a sweetened lambic?

A hazy deep red beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is primarily sour, but also malty. The flavor is both sweet and sour with notes of berries. This is in the mild end of the style, but very nice.

Reddish-brown colour. Sweet, slightly sour character with a hint of caramel and sugar. Finish, though, is tart, with a hint of fruitiness.

Bottled: Red/brown coloured. Unclear. Brownish head. Fruity and malty aroma. Not very much sournotes. Flavour is malty and sweet and has a light acidic note. Quite pleasant, without beeing worldclass.

Soy saucy acidic-malt aroma, coffee. Red copper brown clear with thin off-white head. Medium body with medium-high carbonation. Starts tngy sweet, like vinegar-sugar mix. Light thin taste, saccharin sweetness and light lambic notes. Don’t care for it. Wet fur after.

Bottled. Reddish brown. Sweet with notes of raspberries and loads of saccharine. There’s some acidity, but the sweetness very much takes the upper hand, leaving an unbalanced impression.
