Horizont Brewing - Cherries on Acid

The classic Flanders Red is a sour, vinegary, almost wine-like, tannic beer from Flanders. The fruitiness of the basic style allows for fruit additions. That's where we started, and the end result proved that we were on the right track. The concept was to push the base beer, which is already sour and has slightly winey notes in its taste, with a dose of fruit that goes really well with the fruity/winey base. That's why we chose sour cherries , which blend perfectly with the base beer and wonderfully complement its flavor notes . The end result is a dark amber-colored , clean-looking beer, in keeping with its style, whose slightly vinous, fruity flavors beautifully fulfill the expectations set by the original style.
