Flemm
A Flanders red ale first brewed by Richard Watkins more than fifteen years ago and now the lead beer of the Budding Cells barrel label. Barrels are filled each autumn with a lightly hopped red ale set to a low pH, then left to the house culture of wild yeast and bacteria; each release blends one- and two-year-old barrel beer with a smaller share of fresh beer. Toffee malt, plum and raisin sit against lactic and acetic acidity, with a barnyard note from the wild yeast.
