Rodenbach Alexander was brewed for the first time in 1986 on the occasion of Alexander Rodenbach’s 200th birthday and is now back by popular demand to the delight of beer lovers in Belgium and abroad. It is a blend of 2/3rd aged Rodenbach (100% 2 year aged beer) with 1/3rd younger ale, macerated with sour cherries. The natural flavour and taste of sour cherries brings a perfect match between the sour beer and the red fruit. Its aftertaste is reminiscent of a Burgundy wine and its freshness makes this beer the perfect aperitif or accompaniment to cheeses or dessert.

330ml bottle from Vanuxeem. Was hoping to pair this with the Rodenbach crisps I picked up but you had to buy a 6-pack to get the crisps free. Oh well. Good prominent cherry character, nice acetic sourness. Good balance. As per my 2018 rating.
