Just wanted to let you all know that Beermongers got 3 cases of Logsdon Far West Flaming. It is the base beer for Cerasus. Last time I tasted some I personally enjoyed it more than Cerasus. It's $18.20 a bottle here. Here is the description on the bottle; "Our organic red ale is brewed in traditional west Flanders style. A combination of light, crystal, and dark barley malt, wheat, and oats are brewed with local whole-come hops and a variety of select yeast and lactic bacteria. We age our red ale in oak barrels for a period of time to develop complex richness, soft tannins, and fruity tart character. The aged beer is then blended with young beer to create the desired balance of malt sweetness with a dry finish. Store this beeswax-sealed bottle in a cold dark place and enjoy in a proper glass. Best by 08/2015." I assume it may hit elsewhere but that's all the info I have! Opened a bottle right now so will report back.
Seems pretty pricey. Cerasus cost roughly that and it had cherries added. Wasn't a fan of Cerasus so I'll likely pass on FWF.
Question just popped to mind; is this a different beer than Far West Vlaming or is the "Flaming" just a typo?
It should be Far West Vlaming. I completely agree, but in my opinion, Far West Vlaming needs to be enjoyed at room temp. Anything colder and the tartness disappears. Also, this beer begs to be cellared.
Yea what he said. Sorry for the Vlaming typo, damn iPhone at it again! And Shmeal and I split a cold bottle at beermongers and we both agreed that it got better as it warmed. I remembered the last bottle I had to be quite a nice tart level which didn't seem to be the case with this bottle. Turned out it just totally changed as it warmed and I really enjoyed it by the end of the glass. The taste of the last batch I had was at a 40+ bottle share so the bottle definitely warmed by then. Should definitely age wonderfully too.
