brown ale is blended with 18-month old lambic to create this tart, refreshing, medium-bodied benchmark Vander Ghinste Oud Bruin ale. Reddish-amber with a tan head. Hints of tart fruit and an underlying light lambic sourness dominate the nose. The palate has apple and raisiny fruit notes offset by a touch of brown ale caramel sweetness and a toasty-woody finish with just a light touch of hops.
