Beer style: Sour Flemish Ale - Flanders Red / Oud Bruin Ref: ratebeer.com Apr2024
Common descriptors are Our Collaboration beer breweed with Urbain Cotteau of De Struise Browers, Vletern, Belgium.
Very similar to a Flanders Oud Bruin, this sour mash beer is rich, slightly smoky and sour. There is a unique woody flavor from the 4 month bourbon barrel conditioning it underwent. The nose is very light caramel and vanilla. The color is ruby brown to amber. It is brewed similarly to Urbain’s own Ypres beer, with a Kentucky Spin on it. [Website lists ABV at 7.0%, bottle says 9.0%]. |
