Originally called "Ouden Tripel", this ancient beer has found a new élan as a regional specialty under its current name: "VanderGhinste Roodbruin".
The main ingredients of our Vanderghinste Roodbruin are malted barley, wheat, hops, water, and caramelized malts. These are used to brew a top-fermented beer.
Blending this beer with lambic beer aged in oak barrels for 18 months, results in this specific West Flanders Red-brown beer. Its typical flavour is characterized by a well-balanced, hardly noticeable sourness. This first flavour impression is soon followed by a second pleasant discovery: a slight bitterness followed by a hint of sweetness.

Bottled Feb 15, 2016, drunk 4/1/17.
Clear, filtered, chestnut-mahogany body topped by a beige head that is medium-sized and recedes steadily to cover/ring.
Earthy malts with soft wood-like character, bits of acetic acid and a strong, pervasive cherry-like ester comprise the aroma, which is very clean, polished and light on the vinegar character. Nicely aged/developed and of course not feeling anything like the new-age American sours. Still, there’s a general sterility to it that I can never get past stemming from the filtration and all-around high production of the beer. No alcohol or flaw.
Lightly juicy vinegar, raisin and cherry notes are all backed by lightly sweet malts adding light caramel, bread and earthy qualities. Soft wood in the flavor but it doesn’t seem to come through in texture. Medium-light bodied with brisk, peppery, forced carbonation. Sourness is pretty low and there is no flaw or alcohol. Clean, straightforward and a good example of the style, I suppose, but I’ll just never be fully happy with a filtered Belgian beer.

Bottle. Pours mahogany brown with ruby highlights. Moderate long lasting off-white head. Aroma: moderate acetic sourness, caramel, esters, minor spicy phenols. Light body. The flavour is dry and tart. Noble fruity medium sourness. Balancing caramel. Light yeastiness. Very low bitterness. Good and classic.

Keg at Bishops Arms Östersund. A very tasty sour beer that wasn’t overpoweringly sour or vinegary but quite delicate. Yum. Bottle. Kept same rating.

Pours a dark brown color, topped with a minima tan colored head, non-lasting. Soury vinous nose, green apples and the like. Mild soury start, a tad puckery vinous/cidery feel. Finishes with some fruity sweetness. Light body and quite nice brew.

YES! En oud bruin! En nydelig ølstil, og et helt greit eksemplar av arten. Passelig balanse mellom fylde, syrlighet og malt.
