Topped of a thick rosy head, La Rouge Flamande has the color of a ripe strawberry. The slight haze imparts a bucolic air to this surprisingly seductive-looking ale. The aroma starts light and springy, showing hops and woodland berries – particularly raspberries and wild strawberries. The dusty cobwebs and subtle sourness imply a rustic heritage though this nose remains decidedly fresh and vivacious. Hints of bubble gum, vanilla and grains add to the ebullient smell. Transitioning to the palate, this beer retains more of its richness than anticipated. The strong malty backbone is founded on buttered toast slathered with honey. Caramel adds to the balance. Raspberry and blackberry show up again among the light fruit and hop flavor. This is an ale crafted for drinkability. I found the flavors somewhat muted even after the late apparition of coffee bean, but there’s something to be said about a refreshing joyful brew like this one.

Bottle shared at tasting. Poured a cloudy dark brown. Aroma of malt, fruit, yeast. Some roasted aromas. Taste is a little sweet with more fruit and yeast. Finish is smooth and interesting with mix of malt roast and hops. Overall, a solid and unique brew.

Bottle - 330ml. Hazy amber body with average carbonation and a thick off-white frothy head. Sharp hoppy aroma with fruity hints. Nice hoppy/fruity taste that ends with a long bitter/sour finish. Good stuff.

Bottle (330ml). Via trade with boutip. Bit of a gusher ... hazy deep coppery amber with a huge lasting fluffy white head. Sour aroma, a bit like a fruity Petrus - sharp dry yeast, pungently floral, but mostly lemon and sour cherry, redolent with sweet/sour sugary malt. Taste is like a lemon/cherry sour drop - sweet in behind, yeasty, but mostly sharply sour - I don’t know if it’s supposed to be like this, but I like it. Light body, nice and acidic, sharply carbonated - it’s sour right to the end, but leaves a fruity/candyish aftertaste. Refreshing.

From the bottle in Paris, November 2006. Rather dark reddish brown. Opaque, with yeast. Not a very big head. Fresh aroma of malt and yeast, chocolate, figs, raisins. Nicely roasted. Slight caramel sweetness, but more dry. Coffee. Subtle overall, with a dry hop and roasted malt finish. Lasts a while, though not really strong. A very interesting, enjoyable beer. Good stuff.
