Both villain and hero of the story, Fox is the quintessential trickster, exposing foolishness and greed with an irreverent flick of his tail. This classic Flemish style beer, with its sweet and sour character is a tribute to Fox’s duality.
Aging for one year in French oak barrels lends a subtle woody vanilla note to this tart, cherry-like brown ale.

A full bodied beer, brown in colour. The nose on this beer are of vanilla, oak, and cherry. A sweetness compliments the slight sour finish. Overall a great beer.

Flavour is oak-heavy, along with balsamic vinegar, vanilla and cherry. Lightly sour with some sweetness, with a tannic finish. Quite a good Flanders Red- it's no Rodenbach, but it is well done.

Distinctive lime aroma. Other fruit in there as well but acidity masks somewhat. Sour is assertive with a hint of balsamic. So well balanced & finishes with mild citrus. Beautiful foudre aged beer

Bottle: Poured a deep red color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of vinous notes with some oak and tart cherry notes is quite pleasant. Taste is a good mix of tart notes with some oak and light residual sugar notes with some red wine notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Solid take on the Flanders red style.

Pours a nice head, but no retention.
Aroma has a definite sourness to it, brown sugar, cherry and oak.
Taste is more sour than expected and seems fairly authentic to style, with plenty of depth.
Sour, bot not puckering, quite dry and bubbly.
