This Flemish style soured mash, medium-bodied red ale is lactic, tart and delicious. It is traditionally blended with at least year old gueuze and fruits.

Probably the shining star at KtG Day and decided to bring back a growler of it.

Pours a hazy red copper color, decent head but fades fast, not too much lacing.

Smell has a nice tart/funk to it with some cherry presence.

Taste starts off with a strong kick of sour (almost Cantillon strength) but mellow off quickly, still quite acidic, for as low as the strength is this beer packs quite the taste punch, carbonation is low but is more than adequate.

I easily enjoyed this more than KtG, which is why I'm glad I bought a growler when I had the chance.

Pours deep copper with a minimal head. Slight lacing, but nothing great.

Aroma is...interesting. Not nearly as sour as some Flanders although still manages to smell like straight vinegar at times. A little too malty with a funk characteristic that is not to style.

Again a bit maltier than expected. Acetone finish with some cherry acidity. Not very good.

Light to medium bodied with lower carb than the usual.

Taste like a bad homebrew experiment. Not sure why this was willingly released.

Poured on-tap and served in a tumbler pint, the beer is a muddled, cloudy, opaque reddish-brown color with no trace of head whatsoever. A subtle nose, with tart cherry highlights. The beer has a tangy, sour backbone of white grape and cherry, with a slight roasting overall. The aftertaste is puckering bitter, with a subtle tartness. A dry, astringent finish at the end. More mild than other Flanders style brews. Decent, and would make a good starter for someone new to the world of sours.
