    For anyone who has a taste for Belgian sour beer:

    The Abbott's got in a good bit of Belgian beer today.
    Amongst it are 6 (5 now) bottles of Rodenbach Caractere Rouge.
    If you like Rodenbach Crand Cru, you'll love this.
    The brewer allow the beer to macerate with fresh cherries, raspberries and cranberries. After this maceration in oak, the beer re-ferments in the bottle. The result is RODENBACH Caractère Rouge, an exceptional RODENBACH with fruit maceration and a 7% alcohol volume. The brew is more than unique and extremely exclusive, as only 900 75-cl bottles were produced. Geunes serves this wilful beer as part of his other unique range of beer varieties in his restaurant, ’t Zilte, at the Antwerp MAS museum.

    It isn't excessively fruity and is Grand Cru sour.

    It isn't cheap at €15 a 70cl bottle but really is good.
    3 bottles came in last year but I got 2 of them and Ronan (ex barman there) got the other one. 5 left as I type.

    Some other interesting stuff too - a few barrel aged beers and Vedett IPA.
