De Proef Zoetzuur

From the Flemish translation for sweet-sour, this Flanders Red Ale is beautifully balanced. The sweet component is the light addition of Belgian Kriek (cherry) juice, while the sourness comes from the use of the lambic-like Brettanomyces yeast. This is a reddish-amber colored ale with an off white head. It has a complex aroma of fruit as well as a spicy earthiness from the yeast. It is medium bodied on the palate with sweet notes followed by lightly sour notes and a surprising dry finish. The subtle and elegant beer is a classic example of the brewmaster’s art.
