Fall under the charm of the mild sweet-sour character of this blend of young and old ‘Foederbier’ and young brown ale, with an alcohol content of 5.2%. Go back in time, and pause to reflect on what happened 12 months ago... For that is when this beer came into being.

This brown ale has a pleasant aroma of green apple, redcurrant, caramel, apple cider vinegar and currant bread. It is aged for 12 months in wooden barrels, which gives it its characteristic aromas. It has a lovely, rounded flavour with alternating dashes of sweet and sour.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Smell of spilled red wine. Wine and slight coca cola flavours. Initial taste was just "wow" - forgot how much I love this style. It became more average over the glass.

Bottle at The Pub Brugge. Deep ruby colour lasting beige red head. Yes a flemish red beer. Red fruits mostly cherry sweet cherry then sourness. It's very decent. Likeable. A bit artificial but good enough. Decent sourness
