AKA Flanders Red Style Ale. A traditional Belgian style of sour, Flanders Red Ales derive much of their complexity and flavor from unique strains of yeast, and extensive aging in oak casks. Hints of dry cherry, tart and sharp flavors dance upon the tongue in this beer.

Draft - brewer indicated this was a young, unaged batch. Tart earthy fruity malt aroma. Hazy amber with a small beige head. Sour earthy lactic flavor. Medium body, lively carbonation. I’d like to try the aged version, because this had the potential to be very good once it developed the oaky balsamic flavor that comes from aging.
