Its refreshing sour taste and clean aroma is due to an unprecedented maturation time of 18 months in oak foeders. The brew pours a golden blonde color with a moderate white head. With sharp aromas of white wine, vinegar and fruit and brut-like champagne-like mouthfeel, Petrus Aged Pale delivers flavors of ripe green apple, flint and lemon zest. The finish is dry and sour, with a slight sweetness and sharp carbonation. Unavailable commercially before 2001, Petrus Aged Pale remains the “mother beer” De Brabandere Brewery uses in various quantities to blend with its other Petrus brand ales.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFood Pairings:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSmoked, pickled or marinated fish (trout, herrings, sardines), shellfish, squid; salads or peppery style cheeses such as Monterey or Pepper Jack and pungent cheeses such as Gargonzola and Limburger.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrewery Information:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDe Brabandere Brewery was founded by Adolphe De Brabandere in 1894 as a farm brewery in Bavikhove in the West Flanders region of Belgium.
