Brown 500ml bottle, best before the end of June 2011, reviewed late May 2011.

The label (on all four beers I've got from this brewery) has an owl on the front, nicely done. This review is the first (of four) from this new small brewery that only sells it's beers at markets in Northern France, near the Luxembourg border. Hope more BA's can sample them.

The beer poured a dirty nut brown more than a red colour: a huge amount of sediment came out with the beer and 'muddied the water' a bit. The beer never becoming clear during the tasting. The off-white head had little staying power and became a wisp and collar very quickly.

No great smell, some farmyard type country esters as it warmed.

The beer got sweeter as it warmed, maybe as the sediment and carbonisation fell in the glass. Not a true Flanders Red, but couldn't find a better style to slot it into. Pleasant without being excellent. The blend of malts and hops sat well with the hops taking the lead in flavours at first, but the malt elements finishing the mouthfeel.
