Style: Fruit Beer
Ingelmunster, Belgium

Bottle at Toms Ultimate Glasgow Tasting ... Deep cherry red... sweet cheery nose ... realy quite juice like ... Quite sweet with a little tartness in linger. No real depth but wonderfull drinkable, while at the same time not a patch on the New Glarus Belgian Red

On tap at Luka’s Taproom (Oakland, CA). This red beer poured with a miniscule pink head. There is a very sweet cherry flavor with a slightly harsh finish. Makes a great dessert beer.

pours a dark cherry red. smooth sweet aroma of cherry. like juicy juice this is a sweet chwerry carbonated drink. good sweet, and not too dry, long lasting palate.

On tap at Three Floyd’s Brewpub and served in a Kasteel goblet. This beer poured a beautiful burghandy color with a thin, lasting pink head. The aroma of the beer was dominated by sweet, tart cherries (not a bad thing!). The flavor consisted of sweet cherries, mild fruity yeast esthers, and a faint note of alcohol. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and sugary with moderate carbonation. A great tasting brew that may be just a bit on the sweet side. Otherwise, very well done.

On tap as Kasteel Rouge, served in a Kasteel goblet - It poured a clear, very dark lavender body with a sustained, creamy pink head. The aroma was that of fresh, sweet dark cherries with a light spiciness to it. Very soft mouthfeel and lightly carbonated, the ale tastes mainly of the cherries with a very light tartness and some friendly spices. The strong alcohol content is hidden throughout. Very nice.

Bottle, smells like cherries! poured a dark reddish color, light brownish head, quickly fading. Smooth taste of sweet cherries and smell too. a bit sour and flat at the end. good not great

Glad to see this one back in the MO / IL area. It is now under the name Rouge. Pours very dark crimson with a quickly diminishing pink head. The aroma had lots of cherries with a Luden’s tinge along with light spices and some sourness. Medium / full body with soft carbonation. The flavor starts with smooth sour cherries and lots of what was on the aroma. The finish is highly spiced. A good beer, but it comes across very one dimensional.

Pours deep cherry red w/ a shortlived spritzy froth. All thats left is a fluffy ring of pink lace. Strong aromas a sweet, ripe cherries. Medium nectar w/ ample carbonation. Strong, fresh, concentrated cherry nectar flavors w/ only a mild tartness. Ths brew is surprsingly balanced w/ it’s defined sweetness and not in the least bit cloying. The finish is brisk, fruity, and clean. No detection of alcohol at all. Well made.
