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.

Thanks David for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing turbid deep amber with half a finger of latte colored quickly dissipating foam. The nose shows pronounced notes of sour cherries with dry oak in the background. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Strong tartness with light flavors of oak and cherry.
