The label states this is an Imperial Flanders red. I believe 8% abv.
Pours a murky red/brown. Very hoppy aroma, which is kind of what I was afraid of. Tastes like an IPA. It wasn't until the third glass (with the bottle left at room temp) that I felt I could detect even a hint of funk, and that was more Brett and no lactic tartness at all.
Very hoppy over all, not true to style. If I had bought this and thought of it as a Flanders Red, I would have been very disappointed, as it was nothing like one at all.
As it is, I didn't pay for it, and while it wasn't bad for what it was, it wasn't near what it claimed to be. For that I would have to give this beer a low rating. I would not buy again, and recommend that you don't either.
