USA-based Rodenbach...? Maybe, but this is a brown ale, solid effort but different. Sour wood based acidic nose, sharp sour cherry, fresh carmel and attractive mild, musty aromas. Palate has sweet malt, sour cherry juice, long soaked in new and neutral oak barrels. Not intensely sour, but enjoyable, not Rodenbach. Perhaps more time could concentrate this vintage?
