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

Tight beige head on a reddish brown body. Sweet, malt & jam aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & sharp on the thinner back. Berries, malt, caramel & herbal tastes with a tangy acidic finish. Really refreshing in the extreme evening heat.

Bottle from Beyond Beer, drunk while fighting with the Lufthansa booking system. Medium red brown with a small head. Nice but not too complex sour nose, stone fruits/cherry hints. Flavor is sparkling fruit and smoothness, not too acidic on the finish, but short lived/thin aftertaste with hints of malt. Light body.
