Can labeled as Rodenbach Fruitage from Red's Wine. The blend on the can is elderberry and cherry. I'm pretty sure this should be a different rating at this point but anyway here we go. Pours a deep blood, rust colored burgundy with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Very fruit forward nose with currant, cherry and oak as it warms. Cherry and currant dominate the palate with some light gooseberry like notes and a tart, sweet and oaky flavor that lingers. Balanced finish with lots of fruit and lingering oak as it warms. Of course this doesn't have as much depth as some of the more expensive Rodenbach offerings, but for the price ($5.99 for a 4-pack) and for the abv this is a well-made beer.

Can from AJ’s. Lactic, woody Rodenbach nose with cherries, cranberries, maybe light raspberries. Vanilla and yogurt come through. Deep red with lace. Reasonable aged character with fruits and a bit too much sweetness. Refreshing and tasty enough but definitely lacking the depth of their older beers and too sweet for sure.

Baby can from Total Wine, called Rodenbach Fruitage. Pours a ruby red hue with a dissipating pink head. Aromas of oxidation, cherry Kool-Aid, oak. Taste is sweet, lightly sour with flavors that match the aroma. Not bad, but I wish it was more sour and less sweet.

8.5 oz can poured. Rodenbach out of a Red Bull can. Love it. Total cranberry like juice going on here. Quite on the sweet side. Cherries. Cranberries. Too sweet for my usual taste. Love the idea. Like the beer. Hate where my expectations were.

8.5 oz. can, pours a dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out rotting cherries, balsamic and cloying sweetness. Flavour is a bit rotting, with cherry pits, balsamic and artificial sweetness. This really isn't good. Artificial and rotting. Just bad.
