Commercial Description:
La Roja, an artisan amber ale brewed in the Flanders tradition. Deep amber with earthy caramel, spice and sour fruit notes developed through natural barrel aging. Unfiltered, unpasteurized and blended from barrels ranging in age between two and ten months. Truly an ale of distinction.

Nice dark honey body with a thick frothy, lingering head. Distinct Jolly Pumpkin tart nose. Very nice tart taste with a hint of sour apple. Nice mouthfeel with a good tart finish that sticks. Well rounded but relies on the Jolly Pumpkin tart. Definitely check out.

Orange pour with brown tint. Lots of bubbles and a thick light tan head. Metallic funk aroma. Lots of earth and grass with hints of fruit and grape. Bitter funky flavor with a bit of sourness. Fruity notes. Very yeasty. A bit overcarbonated.

Red in color, I smelled it instantly. Reminds me of Rodenbach Grand Cru with the musky aroma and sour flavor. More of a gentle sour than anything, all of the flavor is real subtle. Had no idea it was 7%, the alcohol is hidden very well. Very nice.

Carmelly appearance, looks delicious if that’s possible. Has a nice funky aroma, not too overpowering with some hints of the barrel and kindof musty. Balanced sourness, some sort of lingering bitterness, can’t really tell if it’s from the hops. Not a fan of the style, but pretty tasty

Body is ruby color with only a little bit of off white head around the outside of the glass. Aroma is fully of cherries, wood, and vinegar. Very carbonated feeling on the front end, but the bubbles are quickly dissipating. The flavor is pretty sour with a bit of a red wine vinegar taste, then has a little metallic chalky finish.

From Voldby, DK. Bottled, 180209. Amber with white head. Aroma of malt, fruit and a tone of sourness. Flavor of wood, bread and vinegar

Amber chestnut hazy color, medium off white head with lots of lacing. Notes of earthy, and malty, some wood, and fruity base notes. Not bad but a bit disappointing. I think I could craft this blend with the dregs of any tasting.
