Commercial Description:
La Roja, an artisan amber ale brewed in the Flanders tradition. Deep amber with earthy caramel, spice and sour fruit notes developed through natural barrel aging. Unfiltered, unpasteurized and blended from barrels ranging in age between two and ten months. Truly an ale of distinction.

Blend 6, 2008. Picked up for me by Savvy1982 from Montana. Pours a coppery colour with a large tan head. Aroma has sour cherries, oaky vanilla, a little musty basement and earth. Tastes very pleasant, but is a little simple. Sour cherries, earth, spice (allspice), oak, vinegar, and a little alcohol. Mouth feel is lively but a little too fizzy for the style. Decent, but just too simple for a really high mark.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber brown with a light brown head. A tart and sour aroma with an undertone of cherries. Flavor was nice, a tart cherry flavor with some oak and sourness to it.
