Sour Ale 5.4 º 10 IBU

Brouwerij Vanuxeem

Queue de Charrue Brune is a refined Oud Bruin that highlights the complexity of its eighteen-month maturation in oak casks. This extended aging produces a sophisticated “sweet and sour” profile, where rich malt notes of caramel and dark chocolate meld with a vibrant acidity. The sensory experience is defined by an exceptional fruit quality, lead by deep impressions of black cherries, plums, and raisins. Despite its depth, the beer maintains a refreshing lightness and a clean, tart finish. The balance between the residual malt sweetness and the bright, lactic character creates a remarkably approachable and elegant Belgian brown ale.

Appearance. Dark reddish-brown to deep brown in color (17–22 SRM) with good clarity. Displays a persistent, ivory to light tan head with moderate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a rich malt character of caramel, toffee, and subtle chocolate. High fruity esters reminiscent of black cherries, plums, and raisins. A mild, clean sourness is present without any harsh acetic or vinegary notes. Hop aroma is absent.

Taste. Initial impression is a harmonious blend of malt sweetness and refreshing acidity. Dominant flavors of burnt sugar and caramel are supported by a complex fruitiness of prunes and cherries. Hop bitterness is restrained and very low, with no hop flavor present. The finish is a classic sweet-and-sour balance that is smooth and slightly dry.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated. No perceptible astringency.
