RISING TIDE FLEMISH RED Dieu Le Veut

Dieu Le Veut, crafted by Rising Tide from Maine, is a Flemish Red Ale that embodies the intricate character typical of this traditional style. With a 6.4% ABV and an IBU of 15, this beer presents a harmonious balance of tartness and malt sweetness that is both inviting and refreshing. The tart profile is accentuated by rich fruit notes, reminiscent of cherries and plums, complemented by subtle hints of oak derived from careful aging. This nuanced combination creates a beer that's both complex and immensely drinkable, showcasing the craftsmanship of its American origin. When serving Dieu Le Veut, it's best to aim for a temperature of about 50-55°F, which allows the full depth of flavors to come forward without being overshadowed by excessive cold. A stemmed tulip glass is ideal for this ale, as it concentrates the aromas and enhances the tasting experience, allowing you to appreciate the delicate balance between its fruity acidity and underlying malt backbone. This Flemish Red Ale pairs beautifully with a variety of foods, making it a versatile choice for your culinary adventures. Consider serving it alongside rich, braised meats or a well-curated cheese board featuring aged Gouda or a creamy Brie. The beer's tartness cuts through the richness, cleansing the palate and preparing you for each subsequent bite. Additionally, the oak nuances and malt sweetness can complement dishes featuring caramelized onions or roasted vegetables, creating a symphony of flavors with every sip and bite.
