Wild At Heart (God Is Goed)
Oersoep

 

 

 

 

This is a typical very drinkable Flanders red second only to the top tiers in this category. Served at de wildeman, amsterdam. Big offwhite foam and dark reddish brown body. It plays nicely on red fruits aroma with an old barrel undertone. The taste is red fruit again with an elegant tartness balanced by the fruity sweetness. It feels smooth and refreshing but never thin and the tannins finish it off nicely. Interestingly, the acetic acid on this is very low compared to a Rodenbach and other more renowned examples of the style making it quite accessible. Remarkable beer! I hope they keep this as a standard and over the years develop their own Grand Cru.

 

 

Reddish color, almost no foam.
Not too much in the smell, caramel and some red fruitiness.
In the taste som tart and acetic notes, then again caramel and red fruit. Some woody notes,, something interesting.
Quite acidic in the aftertaste.
Interesting, yes, but it lacks something to be a Rodenbach Grand Cru.
