Description
De brouwerij is gevestigd op het eeuwenoude Abdijcomplex Rolduc in Kerkrade. Een plek vol met historie, moderne bedrijvigheid en daardoor tijdloos, net als onze bieren! Abdij Rolduc was een geheel zelfvoorzienend ‘dorp’ waarin een bierbrouwerij natuurlijk niet kon ontbreken. De brouwerij stamt dan ook uit de 10e eeuw, maar is in de loop der eeuwen meerdere keren afgebrand en na de laatste brand, rond 1750, niet meer opnieuw in bedrijf genomen.

Tussen 2013 en 2022 opereerde de brouwerij onder de naam Brouwgilde Abdij Rolduc, In juni 2022 komt de nieuwe brouwinstallatie. Vanaf dat moment wordt de naam Brouwerij Rolduc gevoerd.

Bottle 33cl. @home poured into a shaker. Brilliant pale amber colour, good frothy off-white head, good retention and fair lacing. Aroma pale malts, grain, lemon, caramel, piney hops. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, grainy, pine notes. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation, malty sweetbitter aftertaste, lingering husky notes, nice. Has become much better than in 2018.

21/09/2018: Hazy deep golden colour, tall frothy macropore off-white head, recedes slowly and unevenly, patchy lacing. Aroma sweet malts, grain, caramel, yeast. Husky rough mouthfeel, flavour medium sweet and bitter, malty, grainy. Abrupt finish, husky notes. Not hoppy enough for an IPA and a bit unbalanced, otherwise a satisfying effort. Score 6.1

Geel bier met mooie stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is bitter zoet met iets van nootmuskaat, wat koriander en banaan. Heel goed.
