About
The Rodenbach family established the brewery in 1821 in the West Flemish town of Roeselare. The beer owes it unique quality and masterful character to the oak casks in which it matures. Rodenbach is the archetypical Flemish red-brown ale from West Flanders. Recognised as a regional product, it is probably the most award-winning beer in the world.

Bottle. Just don’t like sour beer. But, I keep trying. Dark dark amber. Little tan head. Funky, yeast aroma. Taste is a sour, funk, wine-like taste.

Bottle at home. Pours ruby with quickly disappearing off-whitr head. Nose is intense fruity, tart and refreshing with a touch of wood and funk. Taste is lightly sweet upfront, then quickly takes a fruity, sour and funky turn and then closes with a long lasting, tart and fruity finish. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Tasty.

Bottle at home, courtesy of Marko, apparently the unpasteurized version. Pours copperish red with barely any head. Nose is stone fruit acidity, light tannins, funk, leather. Taste is fruity, slightly acidic upfront, but then it's less sour than anticipated, mostly funky, with malty touches, quite mellow all in all. Closes with a tart, yet somehow malty finish, it's got a light body and soft carbonation.

"Rodenbach Alexander", Fläschchen von Töpper, Moabit, 16.3.2025. - Schwarzrot, klar. - In Nase wie Antrunk delikate, fein abgerundete Säure, ganz zart Balsamico-artig, vor allem aber schöne Sauerkirsche, fein säuerliche Himbeere, eingebettet in ein gereiftes Bier, das eher an Wein denken läßt. Auch die ganz zarten Holznoten im Abgang sind unaufdringlich. - Perfektes mit Kirsche abgerundetes Flemish Red.

Bottle @ De Heeren van Liedekercke. Vintage 1998. Clear reddish brown with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, dried fruit, port and oxidated. Flavor is quite sweet and light acidic. Dry and light acidic finish. Went really well with my stoofvlees. I kept a little in the glass for most of the evening just to have a smell once in a while :o) 20072012 --- Had the 2016 version twice on tap, and it’s really nice as well. Much more aggressive and fruity compared to the 1998 version.
