hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dark fruit and sour character as Wild Red Ale. A red ale in the Flanders tradition, soured slowly and matured for eighteen months in ex-pinot-noir barrels. It pours a deep ruby, and a malt bill drawing on European specialty malts leaves enough residual sweetness to carry the acid. Dark fruit runs through aroma and palate: black plum, tart berries and sour cherry, with a creamy vanilla note taken from the oak. The acidity is sharp and tangy with a balsamic edge, and the finish is long and dry. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
