750 ml bottle into tulip. Pours clear reddish-brown color with a 1.5 fingers of foamy off white head with good retention. Some decent lacing on the glass as well. Aromas of big red wine vinegar; with some fruits and spices in the background. Decently strong aromas here, but the vinegar is overwhelming. Taste of cherry, apple, vinegar, and a bit of oak and spice; which leads to some light sourness on the back that lingers for a short period with cherry, apple, and vinegar. This is very malt forward with only a slight bit of sourness. No alcohol in the taste or finish. Medium carbonation and body. Quite smooth and easy to drink. Overall, this is a nice Flanders red, but there is a bit too much vinegar.
It was alright, but I wasn't the biggest fan of it because of the extreme vinegar aroma and taste. If it was more subdued with more fruity notes, I would have liked it a lot more. I was hoping for more tartness also. I may have it again sometime, but only if I find a 11.2 ounce bottle of it.
