ROUNDED & FRUITY. Grimbergen Rouge, flavoured with red fruits, subtly combines the character of an abbey beer with the sweetness and notes of strawberry, cranberry and elderberry. Its purple colour with intense reflections and its slightly pink foam indicates a unique flavour.

Canned, 0.50l. Clear ruby color with thick frothy pinkish head and tiny lively bubbles. Aroma of malt, strawberries, raspberries, grapes and chewing gum. Taste starts sweet malty, then followed fruity and wine-a-like alcohol note. Mouthfeel is spicy and crisp, while aftertaste is very mildly bitter. Medium body, sticky texture and fizzy carbonation in palate. For sure not more than average fruit beer, I would say that it gets some qualities when becomes a bit warmer...

On tap at Le Carolus, Paris. Dark ruby/red coloured, medium sized pinkish head, syrupy raspberry nose. Raspberry cherry taste with moderate strong presence of alcohol. Refreshing but still quite industrial signature. Still (much) better than 3 Brasseurs Cherry.
