Flanders Red Ale 6.5 º 10 IBU

Brouwerij Eleven

Amelis' Rood is a sophisticated Flanders Red Ale that showcases the results of twelve months of maturation in Bordeaux barrels. This aging process imparts a wine-like structure, blending deep layers of acidity with nuanced tannins. The isolated wild yeasts provide a rustic complexity, complementing a rich malt base that suggests dark bread and toasted grain. Vibrant notes of black cherry, red currant, and plum dominate the palate, supported by a subtle vanilla-chocolate undertone from the oak. It strikes a masterfully curated balance between ripeness and a sharp, refreshing tartness, culminating in a dry, tannic finish that echoes a fine vintage red wine.

Appearance. Deep burgundy to reddish-brown in color with brilliant clarity. Pours with a very pale tan head that shows moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity fruity-sour profile featuring black cherries, plums, and red currants. Supportive toasty malt provides a base of bread crust. Low acetic notes are present but balanced, alongside a distinctive vinous quality from Bordeaux barrels with hints of oak and vanilla. No hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is tart and fruity with intense flavors of fruit leather and dark berries. Moderate toasty-rich malt flavors provide a soft structure. No hop flavor is present, and bitterness is restrained. Complex, layered acidity and oak tannins provide balance, leading to a dry, tannic, and vinous finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a prickly acidity and low to moderate carbonation. Features light astringency from oak tannins and a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth that finishes crisp and deceptively light.
