Description
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.

Pours clear, pale red with a small head. Aroma is dominted by raspberries with light notes of vinegar and liqorice. Surprisingly thin body. Flavour is lots of rasperries with notes of red currants and vinegar. Where’s the mango?

750ml bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours ever so slightly hazy red with a decent white head. The aroma is super jammy, bursting with red fruits, raspberry, strawberry jam, cranberry, but also tropical vibes of sour mango, peach, tangy, strawberries with balsamic vinegar, musty, touch of funk and red wine vinegar. The taste is crisp, tart and tangy upfront, kick of acidity, red wine vinegar/balsamic vibes, loads of tart red berries, raspberry, strawberry, some cranberry, sherbet, fizzy candy, cherry tangfastics, raspberry leaf, tropical vibes of crunchy mango, dry oak, muted tannins and subtle alcohol presence. Finish is dry oak. Medium body and moderate+ fluffy carbonation. Super fruity but still very much rodenbach. Tasty.

Superficial tasting at company beer tasting. Almost clear amber body under a solid, big tan head. Mild and delicate aroma, malt, caramel, hint of acidic berries, Belgium yeast and mild wood. Taste like aroma, not strong and overwhelming but delicate and well-integrated. Not very typical Rodenbach style. Actually it becomes more and more complex for each sip, this was really nice.

75cl bottle from kihoskh. corked and caged. opened fine with a pop and no spillover or unruly beer.
amber, smooth with bubbles beige head.
aroma is wood, sweet and sour notes, faint dried dark fruits, funk, leather, apricot, red-wine vinegar. so fairly complex, like rodenbach itself, perhaps a bit more woody.
flavor is so smooth and velvety, well blended sweet/sour beer with finer notes of dried dark fruits, sweet ripe fruits, wood, red-wine vinegar, sugar. very easy drinking, the vinegar taste sort of rounds off the beer. leaves your mouth very dry, it's like a very sour beer has been mixed with a sweet one, or have added sugar, so the super sour is still there, just a bit hidden.
If you feel like a salad-dressing tasting beer, then this is it! ..
Much more smooth and rounded and complex than the ordinary rodenbach.

En la copa luce un marrón cobrizo bajo una fina espuma beige. Aroma vinoso con notas de caramelo, frutos rojos y madera y vinagre balsámico, mejora y adquiere profundidad conforme atempera. En boca es agridulce, ácida, asidrada, notas balsámicas, frutos negros, roble. Pedazo de cervezon

Color granate oscuro, espuma rosácea cremosa y persistente. Aroma y sabor vináceo y agridulce, con notas de establo, levadura, cerezas...Posiblemente una de las cervezas de este estilo que más he disfrutado, sencillamente exquisita.
