To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the "Cuvée van de Keizer Blauw", the brewery launched a blond-version : Cuvée van de Keizer Rood. This beer is similar to the previous Gouden Carolus Easter Beer. Blond rich beer that is brewed each year during the easter period. It contains several types of malt and during brewing 3 herbs are added. It's golden blond colour, it's high alcohol concentration of 10 %, it's full and balanced taste make this beer into a source of vitality and strength which will appeal to the demanding beer taster. For ideal tasting pour out gently in one pull to a temperature round 7-8° C. Served with pride it is drunken with respect. This pleasant golden blond beer is chosen for he who loves a richer, somewhat spicy and refreshing beer.

Bottled. A golden beer with an off-white head. The arom is sweet malty with primary notes of alcohol, but also light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of both malt and alcohol. I think a couple of years in the cellar will do it good.

(Bottle 75 cl) Almost clear golden with a dense white head leaving laces. Sweetish - and somewhat spicy - perfumy aroma. Quite full-bodied with sweetish malt and fruit. Has an odd unclean edge and a herbal and alcoholic finish. Still a very decent beer though. 050908

Århus2008. 75 cL bottle. Pours clear yellow and golden with a huge white head. Light fruity and yeasty aroma, solid to dense. Solid caramel malt flavour, spiced and yeasty. Classic Belgian and powerful. Ends solid spiced and alcohol warming. Quite flavourful. Apparently the Easter brew slightly modified - nice one!

Bottle, 10% at ÅBF08. Perfumy aroma. Sparkling, clear golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour starts off a little soapy, there is also quite a lot of alcohol. Sweet and burning alcohol finish.

Bottled@EBF2008. Yellowish golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruits, alcohol, some nectar and yeast along with some mild toffeeishness. Flavour is quite much the same. A nice and balanced brew, which shows alcohol only as a slight burning note when swallowing.
