Drinkable beer discovered in a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea "dated between 1800 and 1830" is being analyized in an attempt to rebrew the "world's oldest beer":
The brew has already been sampled by four professional beer tasters.
"They said that it did taste very old, which is no surprise, with some burnt notes. But it was quite acidic - which could mean there's been some fermenting going on in the bottle and with time it's become acid,"...
Pinning down which hops have been used on the basis of further chemical analysis may be difficult, Dr Wilhelmson added, meaning that reviving the 200-year-old brew for modern drinkers may prove difficult.
