"Flanders Red ale blended with tart cherries."
Foggy reddish copper color with a thin ring of bubbles for a head. Fruity cherry mixes with some warm malt and vanilla, resulting in a pretty damn authentic Flanders Red aroma. Flavor is quite sour, lots of cherry, and a slick sweetness offset by the hefty tartness. Not much wood or anything acetic in nature, in fact it comes across as sort of one dimensional. Tasty, but simple. Medium bodied and puckering, leaving a solid dryness along the gumline. Noticeably acidic on the swallow. I know these guys are small and still developing, but this is a style that can really benefit from aging and blending. This beer, while certainly on the right track, tastes young and starts to get sticky and juicy by the end of the glass, missing out on the complexity of the best examples.
A good effort and a very promising foray into sour beer by this young brewery.
