Name: Monk's Cafe Flemish Sour Ale
From: Br. Van Steenberge, Belgium
Type: Flanders Oud Bruin
I've been drinking more "weird" beers lately, and that includes sour beers. I'll review more of them, but first up is Monk's Cafe Flemish Sour Ale brewed by Br. Van Steenberge. I've really enjoyed some of the sour beers I've tried, but this one doesn't really do it for me. A lot of these beers have a vinegar smell, but this one is really pronounced - apple cider vinegar to be specific. The sourness is mild, and there's a really thick, malty sweetness to the beer that reminds me of brown sugar. There's also something in the taste that reminds me of cinnamon. It was very reasonably priced, but I think I'd rather spend a couple of extra bucks for a better beer.
Verdict One: Not bad, not great
Verdict Two: Would probably go well with some fish n chips
