Rodenbach 2007 Vintage

This is one of my many leftover advent beers.

Flemish red/brown sour ale. Limited edition, oak aged barrel number 230
750ml bottle, 7%abv
Palm Breweries, Steenhuffel, Belgium

This is a super-tasty sour ale that isn't as ridiculously sour as the Kriek posted below. This one is considerably more subtle, with some good sweetness to balance out the still potent sourness. The oak aging lends a mellow hint of vanilla that adds a really nice complexity.

I like this a bunch.
