Brussels Tasting – Day 2 – Part 1
Back in Brussels and I’m back in the Lambic. Something that I couldn’t get
this morning. Rodenbach Grand Cru, it has a lot more bite than the vanilla
version. At 6% it tastes a little bit like a winter warmer. Very moreish and
ruby red. A relaxing drink.

Again, ignore the glass. Still on the Flemish ales, this time Liefmans
Goudenband – Gold Riband. Smooth and dark, not tasting the 8% by volume that
it is. This should be a sipping ale but it goes down far too smoothly. Comes
in corked, paper covered bottle. For a spring evening, it works.
Now for Wallonia and a Saison, you have to try them to know them. This one,
Saison Dupont, is bottle conditioned. Slightly cloudy and dry, it comes in
at 6.5% by volume. Good for the mildness of global warming.
Echt Kriekenbier, I would guess from the spelling, Flemish. All I can say is
wow, subtle cherry taste, 6.8% and a rather wonderful glass. That’s my lot
for tonight apart from some Belgian chips. Antwerp tomorrow!
