Crimson | Upland Brewing Company
ABV: 11.2%
Style: Sour - Flanders Red Ale
Actively Produced
Description: Crimson, formerly released as Malefactor (which was formerly released as Gilgamesh), is an American take on a Belgian Flanders-style Red Ale. Upland’s twist on this classic brewing style is aging the beer for eight months in previously used bourbon barrels rather than white oak, which contributes to a slightly higher ABV than most Upland sours, clocking in at 10%. Crimson pours a dark copper beer with hues of red and amber. Long fermentation reveals aromas of plum, red wine and cherry. The bourbon barrels add subtle notes of charred dark oak to this medium-bodied sour ale. Crimson finishes dry with notes of tanginess.
