Flemish-Style Sour Ale
Confluence Brewing Company

Aged in a mixture of Sauvignon Blanc, Woodford Reserve and Cognac barrels, Flemish Style Sours 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-brown hue and a surprising drinkability. Notes of cherry, vanilla and caramel provide a pleasant sweetness that helps to even out the drying notes of oak, the spike of citrus sourness and the wild hay and funk of the mixed culture yeast used to ferment. Crack a bottle and we think you’ll see why this unique and wonderful style has been brewed for well over 200 years. Cheers to 200 more!
