RODENBACH is the unique & original “Flanders Red Ale”, recognised as a traditional local product. Mixed main fermentation and maturation in oak casks (“foeders”) give it the same sweet-sour flavour and complex fruitiness as wine. RODENBACH consists of 3/4 young beer and 1/4 beer matured two years in oak. It's is highly refreshing and appetising: the perfect apéritif or session ale! Since 1821

Nice ruby red, clear with a very slight head. Aromas of cherry jam, cola, fruit cake, oak. Tart on tasting. With the sour cherries on the roof of the mouth. Nice lingering tartness. Not as sour as a "full" sour beer. More like a sweet and sour. Nicely layered and well rounded. Very good!

Bottle. Just don’t like sour beer. But, I keep trying. Dark dark amber. Little tan head. Funky, yeast aroma. Taste is a sour, funk, wine-like taste.

Bottle at home, courtesy of Marko, apparently the unpasteurized version. Pours copperish red with barely any head. Nose is stone fruit acidity, light tannins, funk, leather. Taste is fruity, slightly acidic upfront, but then it's less sour than anticipated, mostly funky, with malty touches, quite mellow all in all. Closes with a tart, yet somehow malty finish, it's got a light body and soft carbonation.

Pours a hazy dark amber/red with a beige head. Aroma of cherries, berries, raisin, wine. Nice and sour. "Bears the proud title of the most refreshing beer in the world", I can sort of get behind that, I could drink this in five minutes.

Аромат слегка кисловат, цвет пива темно янтарный, пена отсутствует. Вкус приятный, не яркий и не слишком кислый как его брат Гранд Крю. Ощущается приятная квашенная кислота яблок. Послевкусие плавное и очень длительное.

Draught @ Brouwerij Rodenbach. Pours a deep reddish amber, good off-white pillow of foam. Aroma of gentle moist fruitcake. Particularly fresh-tasting, an ostensible hop presence, nicely balanced, mild flavour profile overall, good drinkability.
