BELGIAN BREW

Rodenbach Grand Cru LCBO 492207, 330 mL, $3.50

This remarkable beer is a typical sour ale from the Flanders area of Belgium. The complex, fruity brew is a distinctive red-brown with a characteristic sweet-sour flavour. It’s mild-tasting with notes of red fruit, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Serve as an aperitif, or sip with old cheddar or a creamy cheese such as Brillat-Savarin.
