Description
Brouwerij Vanuxeem bestaat sinds 1906 en brouwde uiteenlopende bieren. In 1966 werd de productie echter stilgezet en wordt de firma voortgezet als distributiebedrijf. In 1986, het jaar van het bier, startte Vanuxeem terug met het op de markt brengen van bier - zij het niet meer ter plaatse gebrouwen – en werd het eerste Queue de Charrue-bier gelanceerd.

Fun fact: De naam “Queue de Charrue” is een letterlijke Franse vertaling van de naam van de gemeente waar de brouwerij is gevestigd: Ploegsteert (queue = staart en charrue = ploeg).

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Lightly hazy amber, rich head. Perfumy nose with some light roasty malt. Fairly sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Flavour has some seville orange marmelade, a light touch of yeastiness and some fruit and tobacco. Low bitterness. Rather light and unassuming.

Bottle: Poured a deep dark red color ale with a small foamy head that disappeared quite quickly. Aroma is sour tart with some sweetness. Taste has definitely a good base of oak and tart with some sour cherries but was cut with some sugar which probably makes it a bit easier to drink through but it loose some of it complexities. This beer reminds of the classic Rodenbach and would be great to drink in the summertime and could even make it as a great session beer.

Bottled (1998 vintage) at Man in the Moon, Stockholm. Clear dark ruby, minimal head. Lightly acidic cherry aroma. Fairly sweet with rounded gentle mouthfeel. Balsamic mouthfilling cherry flavour with some freshening acidity. Mild and creamy despite fairly light body and concentrated flavour. Superb! If it would lose some sweetness it would reach heaven!

Strong and pleasant malt vinegar aroma. A dark amber color and considerable carbonation for the style. Flavor does have sweetness, like fermenting fruit, as well as a malt vinegar acidity. Good like other Flemish sours from Verhaeghe.

Bottle. Beautiful red/brown body with a beige head. Aroma has a certain cellar character with well-matured sweet cherry, just delicious. Flavor delivers most of the expectations from the aroma. Very harmonic balance between sweet and sour. The flavor is dominated by cherry, but in a matured way.
