Kasteel Rouge is a unique blend of Kasteel Donker and macerated cherries. The ruby red colour, the rich foamy head and the sweet attack result in a specialty beer with a balanced taste and subtle hints of cherries. This fruity beer is everybody’s friend and makes a great aperitif on a sunny terrace. Are you ready for la vie en Rouge?

Kolor ciemno różowy, klarowny. Piana barwy brudnej, nieco różowej, bieli. Jest wysoka, trwała, drobno pęcherzykowa, zdobienia pozostawia umiarkowanie obfite.
Aromat średnio słodki, cukierkowy i owocowy (wiśnie, czereśnie) z delikatnymi nutami wanilii.
Smak podobnie jak aromat jest słodki (koncentrat owocowy, wiśniowy), skontrowany jednak całkiem wyraźna goryczką (pestkową) i odrobiną nut kwaśnych (świeże wiśnie).
Alkohol dobrze schowany. Wysycenie średnie plus. Ciało średnie w górę. Tekstura gładka, miękka. Posmak długi, słodki, waniliowy, owocowy z towarzyszącą pestkową goryczką.

Kolor czerwony, klarowny, ładny, piana biało różowa średnio obfita ale trwała. Zapach intensywny, wiśnia, mamba czerwona, jasne słody. W smaku słodkie ale bez przesady, skontrowany kwaśna wiśnia, Pestka z wiśni, migdał, jasne słody, trochę skóry i alkoholu. Goryczka umiarkowana, pestkowa, lekko skórzana i alkoholowa, nie za długa. Lekko rozgrzewa, zaskakująco pijalnie, nasycenie umiarkowane

pours a nice dark red. The cherry predominates but a very deep taste on this one. Really much better than I thought it would be, and the alcohol is well disguised.

On tap at FUZE. Pours clear mahagony with a light pink head. Tons of maraschino cherry on the nose. Flavour has a fuck ton of maraschino cherries, like cough syrup. This would have a nice cherry expression if it weren't for the ridiculous amount of sugar. Christ.

Aroma of cherries. Flavour is sweet cherries, candy-like. Too much sweetness, no sourness at all so I am not a fan of this beer. Artificial flavour. However, seeing that this is both a Kasteel beer and a cherry beer, I was just a little surprised at how easily drinkable it was. Still, this is far from what I consider my kind of beer.
