Wijnber is a 'old brown ale', inspired by our regio where this style of beer is very well known. There are two classic styles of old brown ale, but Wijnberg is a new variation that is in between the two classic styles. The beer contains one third of young beer and two thirds of 'old' beer, aged for at least two years on wood barrels. For a more complex flavour we add a small amount of Jacobins, an old foederbeer made by brewery Vanderghinste in Bellegem. The end result is a complex balance of flavours between sweet and sour. The beer was named after the neighbourhood where one of the brewers grew up and it also means 'Mountain of Wine', and refers to the wine-like character of the beer.

"de Ranke Wijnberg (2022)", 75-cl-Flasche von Belgoshop.de, 22.6.2026. - Dunkles Rotgold, trüb; kurzlebiger Schaum. - Komplexes, reiches Süßsauer mit Wiener Malz, einem Rest Karamel(süße), säuerlicher roter Frucht (Weintrauben), Balsamico, Noten von Leder, Kellerluft (Lambic-ähnlich), Holz und Erde. - Spritzig aber weich rezent mit schöner mineralischer Note. - Sehr schönes Bier, bei dem das reiche, kernige Süßsauer eines Oud Bruin durch eine Gabe stark gealterten Bieres noch etwas saurer und schärfer geworden ist, aber nicht weniger trinkbar, mit nur leisen Lambic-Anklängen. Großartig!

(Bottle) Dark red colour with foamy, beige head. Fruity nose with red fruit, dark cherries, oak wood, caramel, grapes and a mild vinegar aroma. Fruity, malty, tart taste with red fruit, grapes, cherries, caramel, burnt sugar, oak wood, a mild vinegar taste and spices. Hardly any bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well balanced Flemish bruin, with a mild woody acidity. Very nice.

Pours a reddish brown colour with not much foam. Aroma's: light sour, light funky, poop. Retronasal it's mildly sour, woody. Flavour is sour and bitter with a hint of sweet. Light bodied. Finish with a short but firm bitterness. I didn't like it much.
