Beers of mixed fermentation
Flemish red-brown beer (5 - 6,5 vol.%) is brewed with reddish barley malts and is associated with southern West Flanders. They are obtained by mixing young beer and “old” beer aged on wooden barrels. The beers tend to be spicy instead of bitter and have a distinctive, crisp, slightly citrussy note (e.g. Rodenbach, Duchesse de Bourgogne, Vander Ghinste Oud Bruin, etc.).
