hopIQ found 10 beers with the same sour and caramel character as Wijnberg. Wijnberg is De Ranke's take on oud bruin, the sour brown ale typical of the region between Kortrijk and Oudenaarde. The brewery blends one third young beer with two thirds oud bruin aged at least two years in wood, and adds foeder beer from a neighbouring brewery in Bellegem for extra depth, aiming to reconcile two traditional takes on the style. It pours dark ruby brown. Cherry, plum, red grape, cocoa and musty oak shape the aroma. The palate balances a gentle sourness against caramel sweetness and stays round, soft and easy to drink. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
