A Flanders Red named after the Belgian town of Roeselare where the style originally developed. This style is near and dear to Winslow’s heart after living in Bordeaux reminds him of Belgian Beer bars in the area.
This red features a strong cherry aroma and a complex malt background of dark aged fruits and leather over the sour lactic bite and acetic notes. The complexity of this beer is driven by the yeast.
The yeast is Winslow’s proprietary blend containing multiple sachro, brett, pedio, lacto, and acetic strains, with Belgian origins. Following almost a decade of selection, and surviving a fire in the cellar below, this yeast has become its own unique blend designed specifically to work well in light bodied, fruity red wine barrels. The barrels used to age this beer are French Oak and were previously used to hold Pinot Noir in Napa Valley.

Red colour and hazy. Sharp, lots of raspberry in particular. Really a bit too sharp for me.

On tap at Pure Project, pours a murky dark amber red with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out light barrels upfront, with wild yeast and some balsamic. Flavour is along the same lines, with balsamic, tart red fruits, and gentle wood. Balsamic, citric, and Worcestershire sauce. Solid stuff.
