Flanders-Style Red Ale
Confluence Brewing Company

Flanders Red style ales are meant to be balanced beers. Tart from natural souring, yes, but anchored by a sweet grist highlighted by rich caramel malts that give the beers their reddish hue and a surprising drinkability. Our take on this remarkable style was guided by that ethos. Notes of cherry, vanilla and caramel provide a pleasant sweetness that helps to even out the drying notes of oak, the spike of citrus tartness and the wild hay and funk of the mixed culture yeast used to ferment. Pour yourself one and we think you’ll see why this unique and wonderful style has been brewed and enjoyed for 200 years. Cheers to 200 more!
