This traditional Flanders-style sour red ale was aged for 2.5 years in red wine barrels.
It is named in honor of a very energetic cardinal who used to fly around the outside of the brewery during the first half of 2011 when this beer was originally brewed.

Bottle (shared with Jonathan K at Rex/Rådhuskällaren). Hazy ambery golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is some brett, wood, mild sweetish malts as well as some herbal tones. Flavour is red wine, some brett, wood, mild tart berries along with some acidity. Enjoyable.

Bottle @ZZTX. Deep amber color. Vinous aroma, soft red fruit and hints of vinegar. Mellowed sour beer with red fruit, vinegar and vinous notes. Caramel. Surprisingly short aftertaste. A bigger finish would get this beer the 4+.

A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, brettanomyces, and wood. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, brettanomyces, straw, and wood, leading to a tart finish.
