Palm Breweries Rodenbach Grand Cru

These Flanders red ales (LCBO 492207, 330 mL, $3.30) spend two years ageing in huge oak casks called foeders, slowly developing fruity intensity and great complexity before being blended with young beers. The result is richly textured and tangy, tasting of sour cherry, raspberry, cider apples and Riesling, with an earthy funkybarnyard heart—elements that resonate with the umami of anchovy and roasted olives in the Pissaladière.
