Finalement, l'ajout de cerise ne bonifie pas la Rodenbach qui perd un peu de nervosité voire de complexité. En effet, si la sucrosité apportée permet d'amener un peu de douceur, on en perd un peu en vivacité (dégustation des 2 faite en parallèle). L'ensemble reste cependant appréciable avec des arômes de cerise qui se marient bien avec ceux de vinaigre balsamique. Le visuel est quant à lui sur une belle robe rosée surmontée d'une mousse blanche de 3 mm. Mieux vaut la Grand Cru sans ajout.

Robijnrood helder bier met schuim. Smaak is fris fruitig en licht zoetzuur met iets van kersen en druiven. Heel fijn bier.

Been wanting to taste this for a while, but I couldn't bring myself to spend the $2 more than I usually spend for a beer, I was hoping somebody would give me one, but NO! So I bit the bullet and bought the alexander farm. Aroma is your typical rodie. Pour is lighter maroon. Taste is so good, its so civilized and has just the right amount of tartness. Its so yummy. Can't even tell there is alky in this yet I know it is a flemmy. Yes, these flemmy brews are quite nice and this is a prime example of doing it right. I'm glad we have a separate style for flemmish sours, they certainly don't belong, or taste anything like, any other sour or tart beer, wild or not. This stuff is the beez neez. Big thanks alexander. Really good overall beer tasting experience. Salaciously titillating.

Bottle from Beyond Beer, 5.6%. Ruby red with a short-lived head. Nose is very natural cherry, deep and intense. The flavor is dry, complex, dark red cherry flavor with hints of caramel. Great body, a bit of natural sourness, clean hop bitterness with a hint of woodiness. Very nice layered complexity. A really excellent, natural cherry experience.
