Goat & Ram is a Flanders Red style sour brewed with Pinot Noir skins, redcurrants and cherries, then aged for three months in a red wine barrel.

Holy Goat say “This Flanders Red style beer was fermented on Pinot Noir skins from grapes grown in Crouch Vale, Essex brought to us by our friends at Pastore. After three months on the skins we blended it with stock beer aged in red wine barrels. The resultant blend was conditioned on 100g/l of local Scottish redcurrants and third-use whole Frederiksdal sour cherries.”

12.68 oz bottle. Aroma has notes of cherries, wood, almond, metal. Pours hazy amber with a one finger beige head with good retention. Taste is highly sour (8/10) and slightly sweet with dark fruit flavors. I noticed a metallic off-note at first but it seems to have disappeared. Very good.

Dark sour, with a cherry character. Lightly vinous, and mellow. Acetic, maybe a bit too acetic for me.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a deep dark red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of wood, Worcestershire sauce, tart dark fruits, and oak. Flavour is complex, with lots of tart dark fruits, wood, oak and some Worcestershire sauce. Oaky, woody and pleasantly tart. Excellent.
