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.

Smooth mild sour beginning. Nice fruity sourish grapes (which I think aren't used in this beer), fruity and nice sourish. Hints of wood in the back, very nice mild sourish. Fruity woody and mild finish. Nice one.

Clear brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have sour woody notes. Cherry pits. Really lacking in depth and complexity though. Not bad just not interesting.

Süffiger, fein säuerlich-malziger Beginn. Spritzig, Noten von Holz und Kirsche, etwas Vanille. Zum Mittelteil eher Pfirsich, die Trockenheit passt gut. Mittellanger Abgang. Gut trinkbar. 10/9/11/10/8/10
