Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Almost opaque dark red- brown beer. Small bubbly pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry. A little fine carbonation. Mild Flemish red like sourness followed by a robust woody bitterness in the mid. Reveals red wine fruits toward the dry finish. Beguiling and drinks well below the abv!
