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.

2016 bottle shared with the crew at CB. Pours a clearish ruby with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Lovely tart cherry nose, some light cough drop notes, cherry skin and oak. More cherry skin and stone on the palate, oak and light vanilla. Sweet cherry on the palate with some bright tartness as it warms. Low acidity, but impeccably balanced. So smooth and enjoyable. Would pair well with any number of foods. Cherry and berry throughout. Another world class beer from Brouwerij Rodenbach. --- Beer merged from original tick of Alexander on 02 Mar 2018 at 23:10 - Score: 8.
