We've always had a fascination with Flanders Red style beers & their links to brewing in the UK. We also love them - sour, but with a rounded sweetness; complex, but effortlessly drinkable.
Our fourth blend contains four different barrels with the oldest dating from November 2018 & the newest brewed September 2020. The older barrel brings more wood character to the blend, along with a touch of welcomed acetic while the newer barrels add a cleaner, crisp acidity. They combine to create a balanced sour red ale with light balsamic & cherry fruit undertones. A delight to pair with punchy cheeses & charcuterie.

Bottle drunk after carving this year's Halloween pumpkin on Hallow's Eve Eve. Medium brown, small head, very big sour nose with light hints of dark malt and cherry. Pretty acidic on the tongue, light kandi sugar flavors, good complexity with some woody undertones. Good complexity, I like it despite the acetic heaviness.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Odi's place. Thanks Odi. Deep red-amber. Funk, cobwebs, cellar, vinegar, red fruits, sour, light phenolic smoky note. Very nice.
