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.

Аромат отличный, свежая черешня, немного яблок. Цвет малиновый, практически без пены и с легким осадком. Вкус идеально сбалансирован, хорошая лимонная кислота идеально взаимодействует с выверенной карбонизацией. На началу больше ощущается кислота и квашеность от яблок. В послевкусие появляется немного сладкие нотки, и четкая косточка от черешни. В целом почти идеальный кислый эль.

Аромат шикарный, малина,клубника, земляника и смородина. Цвет прозрачный, темно-красный пенка светло розовая, пушистая. Вкус безумно мягкий, не химозный и не концентрированный. Ощущается смородина и совсем легкая кислинка от них. В послевкусие уже больше малины. В целом просто лучшее фруктовое пиво что я пил.

Аромат классический, умеренный, квашенные и моченые яблоки, легкие нотки уксуса, немного ягод и легких фруктов. Цвет насыщенный, бледно-красный, с тонкой но постоянной пенкой. Вкус умеренный, плавный, не бьющий своей кислотой по нёбу. Легкие сухофрукты, моченые яблоки с породистой кислинкой. Послевкусие плавное, можно сказать что даже слегка сливочное, с винными нотками и уксусом. В целом, отличный, абсолютно классический и благородный кислый эль.

330ml bottle. Pours a reddish brown color with a minimal off-white head that soon fizzes to a fine ring. The aroma is strong with sour fruits such as cherries and raspberries. The taste is mildly tart with sour cherries and sour grapes. The palate is light with acidity noticeable and fizzy carbonation. Finishes long and sour with lingering breads and sour fruits. Overall: Decent--one of my favorite sours. Paired well with some gruyere cheese.

75cl bottle at the 1st Shrewsbury Bottle Share Jan 14, courtesy of Blackhaddock. Judging by the comments below I think I should’ve taken more notes! A cherry tartness dominates the palette with cough syrup, red wine and sour notes evolving the taste the more it breathes. Sweet, tangy moments towards the end before that cherry tartness gives you one last kiss on the cheeks.

75cl bottle from Brouwerij Rodenbach. Pours a generally clear dark reddish brown, thinning foamy head. Vibrant aroma of mixed red berries, oak, with a lick of vanilla.Lip-smacking sharp clarity of flavour, Intensely tangy with puckering cherry boiled sweets, luscious fruity layers, with juicy Beaujolais redcurrants, fruitcake, oak, vanilla and a lasting sour linger. Marvellous.

330ml bottle from Vanuxeem. Was hoping to pair this with the Rodenbach crisps I picked up but you had to buy a 6-pack to get the crisps free. Oh well. Good prominent cherry character, nice acetic sourness. Good balance. As per my 2018 rating.

Keg @ t’ Brugs Beertje, Bruges. Pours clear pinkish red, small white head. Aroma is vinous with sharp cherries. Taste presents a complex layered vinous, oaky, aged Rodenbach character complemented wonderfully with tart sour cherries emerging from within. Some balsamic elements working with the sweetness of the cherries. Very good, accomplished beer.
