Dentergem, Belgium
Style: Flemish Sour Brown
ABV: 8%
375 ml corked bottle (2006 vintage)
In preparation for our upcoming Belgium trip I'm hitting the classics. Goudenband is billed as the classic Femish sour brown ale. Pours with a slight head that disappears quickly. Dark red color with a noticeably sour nose.
Sweet and sour taste. Lime flavor that leaves a lingering puckerness...(spell check doesn't think that's a word, but I don't care) Doesn't seem as syrupy as the Duchess, but in my opinion that makes it more enjoyable. More balanced in its sourness than a Gueze. All around a very enjoyable beer.
