This amber ale brewed in the Flanders tradition pours a slightly cloudy mahogany color with an off-white head. Initial aromas of earthy, wood-driven spices and tart cherries abound, with a secondary note of barnyard and a rich caramel streak. The beer exhibits superb balance; the full-bodied and slightly sweet profile is countered by lifting sour fruit flavors. Medium carbonation keeps the palate fresh and lively.
