About Flanders Red Ale

Flanders Red Ales range from deep red to brown in color. Ales of this kind are often considered the most wine-like of all beers. Their aroma is a pleasant blend of light and dark fruitiness, often with chocolate or vanilla undertones. The fruity flavors in a Flanders Red Ale are very intense. While ales of this kind have a sour and acidic character, fruity flavors of cherry, plum and citrus take center stage. A noticeable backing of malt or chocolate is possible. Beers of this kind are medium-bodied, low in carbonation, and dry in finish.
