Perhaps no country embraces the use of fruit in beers more so than Belgium. Numerous traditional as well as regional specialty ales are infused with every sort of fruit imaginable. In this way, the flavor of the fruit becomes especially prominent.

Red Poppy Ale is a veritable celebration of Sour Cherries in an explosion of aromas and tastes. Brewed from a brown ale base and aged in our oak barrels for over 6 months, this beer is not for the faint of heart.

The Golden Poppy is the state flower of California and the Red Poppy is found in Flanders Fields where our inspiration for this beer comes from. This beer is 5% ABV and is available in 375 ml bottles and on draft at inspired locations.

ABV: 5%

Tasting Notes:
AROMA: Red Poppy starts with a complex nose of tart cherries, vanilla and cinnamon like finish. There is also an underlying basis of yeast esters and wild yeast components that result in an extraordinary complex nose.

TASTE: Red Poppy starts its life out as our Dawn Patrol Dark. Post primary fermentation, we blend this with some of our Amigo Lager at transfer to barrel. During the fermentation in the barrel from the micro organisms, we gain acidity which results in a beer with hints of Vanilla, Tannins and Sourness from the Cherries and the secondary fermentation and extensive aging.

Style Reference: Flanders Red Ale

Pair With: Duck with reductions sauces and fruit components

Sur och god, mycket karaktär av fat, körsbär. Vanilj. Jag gillar denna väldigt mycket. Dock var det mindre aceton än när jag drack den förra gången. Fortfarande väldigt god i vilket fall. 9'an får stå kvar, men jag tycker att det är lite mycket ek i smaken. Bra öl!

Djup röd vätska med smutsvitt småbubbligt skum. Doften är körsbär och mer körsbär med söt bakgrund med torrt avslut, funkigt, jordkällare. Smaken är av massor av körsbär, lät syrlighet, jodkällare, lätt brettigt funkighet. Lätt kropp med kittlande medel till hög kolsyra.
