Fruity srawberry aroma. Redwine-colored, the head was gone quickly. Malty/walnut notes, yet fruity in front of a nice sour background. The palate fills out the entire mouth and you sit back with a aftertaste like from a dry white wine.

Red, though very dark colour. Light sweet aroma. Little bit sweet, but especially sour flavour, maybe I got a bad bottle, but this rating is way out of the standarddeviation. Very weird.

Clear ruby color. Fruity sour aroma. Some cherries, bit sweet taste. Sour but refreshing palate. Although the flanders red ales and the lambics are not my style, i think i learn to appreciate them more every time.

Quite funny. My first encounter with the Rodenbach was also my first experience with a flemish red. I can remember i wasn't quite known with the more sour belgian styles, and this style in particular was overcherried in my opinion. But as my tastebuds have evolved throughout my presence on ratebeer, i can appreciate more and more different styles. So also, the flemish sour ales. There you go: a 4.0! Original Rate:Although i admire the perhaps greatness of this beer, i just cant appreciate fruitbeers, and this one does remind me of a simple Kriek, with it's enormous cherry taste. It's very fruity and that's the thing which f*cks up the flavour! Beer is made of hops and granes and not of fruit!

Bottled:
.Pours deep, brownish red with a steady head. Sourish cherries on the nose. Acidic flavour of sourish cherries and oak casks.

Dark brownish red. Big fresh cherry aroma. very fruity, vinuous and sweet. Only a hint of acidity. One of the beers that got me into beer sampling, and it's just too bad that one of the worlds best fruit beers should be discontinued.
