Bottled. Hazy dark red, small pink head. Ripe cherry aroma. Sweet and lightly balsamic with only a light tuch of acidity. Refreshing, but I would certainly like to have it drier.

Red copper beer with a frothy small white head. Cherry wood and horseblanket aroma. Sour cherries and lactic fill the mouth very pleasantly, puckering the mouth. The label claims there is corn in this!!! If i tatsed this blind, I think this would be a kriek...bizarre...but good.

Murky, deep red body. Mostly diminsihing, fizzy, pink head. Virtually no lace. Nose of white Mosel-wine (a sweet, German wine-variety) and cherries. Moderately sweet and moderately acidic initial flavour. Lightly sweet, lightly acidic finish (averagily long). Light bodied. Fizzy carbonation.

Bottled (BB 05/2005)
What a suprise to find this one from the local grocery store, never thought that I will buy my first Flemish sour ale from there.
Bright ruby color with small but steady reddish head. Skunky rubbery aroma with notes of sweet cherry. Carbonated mouthfeel, sugary cherry and crisp lingonberry flavor with a nice sourish finish. (3/4/7/4/13 3.1)
Re-rate: upped aroma points, second bottled had much cleaner aroma. (6/4/7/4/14 3.5)

Ruddy orange/red-brown body, thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a ring of carbonation. Balsamic vinegar, tannin, and grape aroma. Body is pretty smooth and sweet with balsamic vinegar, oak, and light tart malt. Light carbonation but overall dull-feeling and a tad flat. Interesting but needs a bit more "oomph."

This beer is exaclty what it’s pretending to be. Rodenbach Classic with addition of 25% krieken. Very cloudy dark red color with a dark pink head. Aroma of cherry, some marzipan, bit spicy. Taste is moderately sweet and lightly sour. Sticky palate.

(A score of years ago, Palm shook up the world of beer, and also a number of people never before considered as beergeeks, by terminating the - by me - unlamented Alexander. The protests never made much sense to me, as I always considered Alexander a devious way to ruin perfectly good Rodenbach Grand Cru. On the opposite, the defence of Palm, claiming that Alexander was anything but traditional, made all the sense in the world. As if to prove the limitlessness of my naiveté, and of their own hypocrisy, here’s Redbach; ordinary - sorry, *classic* - Rodenbach diluted with cherry juice to a childrens’ drink of 3.5%...) Dark purple beer; dense pink-cyclamen head, leaving fine lace. Concentrated cherry juice in the nose, cherry sweets for the very young, ending a bit woody. For a short time, an unspeakable flavour, reminiscent of the aromas wafting form an opened sack of dried dog food. Thank God, it turns quickly to sweet cherrydrops flavour. Truth to tell, the finish is even tart-fruity, even more acidic than ordinary Rodenbach. The acidity lightens the texture, whilst the unfermented fruitwhatevers enhance it. Quite some dry-out effect. It is much less horrible than I expected, and I would even endorse it, but for the artificial smell, the first taste impression, and, as said, the limitless hypocrisy of the parent company. I think the Google ad about "Cherry Concentrate" which joined itself to this page, was the most apt comment imaginable.

Bottle drank at le Cirio in Brussels: Poured a light red/brown colored beer with a nice head with better then average retention. Aroma is mostly dominated by the oak/cherry smell but not as strong as for the Grand Cru. Taste is surprisingly more refreshing then expected with again the oak/cherry taste and some light sweetness. The end is a bit sour and watery. This is not on par with the Grand Cru but it would wonderful to drink this during a hot summer days beside the pool.

A hazy red beer with a disappearing pink head. The aroma is sweet cherries. And so is the flavor though combined with a light sourness. A very enjoyable beer.
