🌍 United Kingdom · Flanders Red Ale · One of 5 Flanders Red Ales in hopIQ

Burning Sky Brewery's Flanders Red hails from the village of Firle in the Sussex South Downs, bringing a distinctly Belgian-inspired vision to the English countryside. Pouring a deep, garnet-tinged red with a delicate off-white head, this ale spent a remarkable 40 months ageing in oak barrels alongside the celebrated Roselare yeast culture. The aroma weaves sour cherry, balsamic vinegar, and toasted oak into an inviting complexity. On the palate, lactic tartness balances rich malt sweetness — think dried fruit, plum, and subtle vanilla — while wild fermentation characters add earthy depth. The finish lingers with an elegant acidity and faint woodiness. Presented in 750ml bottles, it rewards patient cellaring and thoughtful sharing.
