I was in my local Total Wine looking around when I came across Omer Vander Ghinste VanderGhinste Roodburin. This is a 5.5% Flanders Sour Ale that won World’s Best Dark Beer at the 2015 World Beer Awards. This ale is brewed (top-fermented) in Bellegem, Belgium, and was originally called Ouden Tripel. Blending this beer with lambic beer aged in oak barrels for 18 months results in this specific West Flanders Red-brown beer. This ale pours brown with red edges and a one-finger reddish-beige head. The aroma is lightly fruity, sour, and sweet. The flavor is fruity (apple), sour, tart, lightly sweet, and smooth. This ale has a light mouthfeel. The finish is tart and fruity with some light sweet notes. The aftertaste is a faded, tart, fruity flavor. This beer doesn’t taste like how it looks. It is light and smooth overall. This ale is an A+. I found it to be a bit refreshing. This is a beer that I would not miss; I’m highly recommending it. It has such delicious flavors that shouldn’t be missed. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
