Oude is a very special blend of wild ales aged for 1 up to 4 years. Over 1/3 of the total blend is aged in oak puncheons (500l) for 4 years. We’ve never used such an old beer in our blends so far. This gives the final beer a characterful and complex taste. Another 50% is a younger beer of 1 years old which adds freshness, herbal and floral qualities to the blend. The remaining part of the blend is a 2 year old beer that acts as a bridge between the old and young.

750ml bottle. Tart, funky and sourish with some oaky peaches, farmyardy notes, earthiness and yeastiness. Okay, quite complex

Bottle. Hazed pale copper colour. Fine white head. Nose has brioche bun. Stewed apple. Sherry dregs. Vanilla pod. Wet wood. Sweaty brett. Taste has a vanilla sweetness. Gets tart and sharp. Touch of woody bitterness. Smooth and easy drinking, with minimal acidity. Fine carbonation. Tart, sharp, apple skin bitterness to finish. Glorious beer with lots more to come.
