This brewery has behaved very ‘commercial’ from the start, achieved its goal and is now present in many a supermarket in Flanders, which makes it perfectly logical for them to try and cash in on that annoying ‘rouge’ hype, I suppose… Steinie bottle from the Delhaize in Lokeren. Thick and foamy, membrane-lacing, pale pinkish-beige, moussey head over a misty vermillion red robe with brownish-tinged burgundy hue. Aroma dominated by red Haribo candy (the expected ‘poepegatjes’), Fanta Red, cough syrup, Fruitella strawberry candy, candy apple, but also bread pulp, cream, rhubarb compote and vague ‘kersenvlaai’. Unsurprisingly very sweet, grenadine-like onset, syrupy with a ton of red candyfloss – but perhaps just a tad less sticky than average for the genre; hints of ripe pear, strawberry and sweet cherry seem more ‘real’ here than in other rouges I had to endure. Medium carb, slick mouthfeel; a thin trace of malty breadiness can be felt under all that red candy flavouring and syrupy sugar, with even vague and volatile echoes of caramel or Ersatz chocolate fleetingly passing by for a fraction of a second. Sugar and red candy remain completely dominant, of course, with a cloying finish more reminiscent of lemonade than beer, but topped with some gently warming alcohol. Hops remain all but indistinguishable. Typical ‘standard’ rouge, adding nothing to this irritating hype – of the traditional Belgian brands, only Het Anker did a very interesting attempt at breaking open the standard of this ‘rouge’ style with their latest Indulgence to date – but somehow, this particular one has retained a few superficial ‘beery’ features which in other rouges are as good as absent. For this reason alone I will score it a little bit higher than average for a rouge.
