Perhaps no country embraces the use of fruit in beers more so than Belgium. Numerous traditional as well as regional specialty ales are infused with every sort of fruit imaginable. In this way, the flavor of the fruit becomes especially prominent.
Red Poppy Ale is a veritable celebration of Sour Cherries in an explosion of aromas and tastes. Brewed from a brown ale base and aged in our oak barrels for over 12 months, this beer is not for the faint of heart.
The Golden Poppy is the state flower of California and the Red Poppy is found in Flanders Fields where our inspiration for this beer comes from. This beer is 6.5% ABV and is available in 375 ml bottles and on draft at inspired locations.

On tap at Trail's End. Pours a clear, dark red color, with a small, dense, tan head. The aroma is sweet cherries, brown sugar, lime zest, and cinnamon. Lovely, tart flavor, and just a little sweet. Medium body, with a crisp, lively, and clean palate. Just excellent!

12.7 fl oz bottle, at the Beer Jerk Bunker bottle share, thanks to Emma. Pours slightly hazy orange brown. Biscuit, pepper, slightly earthy, cherry, orange zest, touch of strawberry, little sharp acetic acid, touch of barnyard funk stuff. Medium body. Very good, really very good.

Big sourness everywhere in this beer. Lots of old woodyness gives dry notes. Lightly cherried, it's nowhere near a fruit beer. There's sweetness underneath the sourness too, not just from the cherries. Light yet it takes time to drink. Lovely and harsh.
