Nouveau Rouge is an aging project 10 years in the making, paying tribute to the sour ales of Flanders. This method of blending and aging creates a complex, tart and earthy ale with notes of vanilla and tannin imparted from the oak barreling process. With each year the solera evolves building upon it's award winning character.

Bottlepour at Brookland Pint in D.C.
Pours a reddish brown with a little bit of pink foam.
Smell is tart with some sweetness and notes of cherry and vinegar.
Taste is sweet and sour with lots of cherries and cherry pits, along with some hints of vinegar and some funk.
Mouthfeel is medium with bright carbonation.
Overall,a very tasty and balanced sour, with just the right balance of sweetness.

750ml bottle poured into a tulip. It is a very dark amber color with a fizzy dirty white head. Tart cherries, sour apple, vanilla, malt and oak. Starts off semi sweet then blasts with tart cherries and sour plums. I can taste the vanilla and oak within the malty liquid. Finishes with a lingering tart sourness. Not sour, but a nice sweet and very tart combination. A real treat to quaff. Carbonation gives the beer a fizzy, bubbly quality. Drinkable, and refreshing. Reminds me of New Glarus Enigma.

I tried this bottle chilled in a goblet
the color is a translucent shade of deep burgundy with small off white head with fine bead. The smell is fruity with subtle sour smell from the yeast. The texture is tart and funky with moderate carbonation with mild sweetness and alcohol with a semi-dry finish.
The taste is very good with a nice fruity almost tart berry-like flavor with subtle toast element in the malt with a funky earthy accent in the yeast with a nice dry yet sour finish. Overall I enjoyed this I would not hesitate to try it again

Pours hazy, reddish-brown in color, with minimal head and carbonation. Taste is sour mix, light stone fruit, and oak. Really tasty Flanders red. I will pick this up again.
