hopIQ found 10 beers with the same sour and oak character as Vieille Provision. Vieille Provision is De Ranke's preservation beer, drawn from a selection of the best barrels of aged beer in the brewery. It rests at least a year on oak and serves as the sour base for both Cuvée De Ranke and Kriek De Ranke, so in the bottle it shows that foundation unblended. The first bottling marked twenty years with the brewery's American importer. It pours deep gold to copper-orange. Lemon, grapefruit, white grape and apple rise over wood and light funk. The palate has a soft tartness, subtle oak and a slightly vinous, dry finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
