Commercial Description:
Also called “Monk’s Café Flemish Sour Red Ale”

We blend young and old beers to make this mildy tart sour ale. Light bodied with a lactic/sour nose and a bit of sweet and sour in the finish. Very refreshing!

Bottle. Pours red/orange with a tan head. Sour aroma. Vinegar....balsamic vinegar....maybe this beer would go good with some bread and olive oil? Interesting, but not for me.

I’m sorry - I just don’t "get" the sour ale. Yes it’s very aromatic, yes it has a very complex flavor that grabs the palate. But no, I didn’t like it. Very sour and offensive to me. SECOND ANALYSIS: Being more of a fan of sours now, I like this one. Very sweet and sour.

I’m not too fond of this brew but it does have a good taste to it. I was looking for an ale that was a little more sour. I’d say it’s worth trying if you like trying new things, but my curiosity has been satisfied. At least for this beer.

Bottle. Pours a clear deep amber with a small but lasting off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of tart cherries and light caramel. Taste is the same as aroma with a hint of vinegar. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness, moderate carbonation, and a mild to moderate amount of acidity that is very well balanced. An easy drinking sour ale.

12ish oz, bottle claiming Monks Cafe Flemish Sour Red, pours a nice dark ruby, with small off white head. good amount of bubbles breaking through the head, however the flavor is mildly acetic but lacking any fruit distinction i dont really find any raspberries or other fruits perhaps i am missing the idea behind Sour Ale. still not bad, and great to sip on a sour every once in a while.

Bottle. Aroma sweet sour with notes of prunes and tart raspberries. Flavor continues with the same and some other fruits, plums, apricots, sort of mellow fruits with a sour edge. Quite tasty.
