Commercial Description:
Rader Ambrée is the subtle aromatization of a beer brewed in the ancient-way, re-fermented in its bottle, with a distillate of grain which has undergone a prolonged ageing process in oak casks. The primary fermentation is made with the same selected grains for the mash tubbing and the distillate. The distillate, aged in oak casks, is then added to the mash tub just before the re-fermentation in the bottle.

Bottle, 10.5%. Spicy, citric aroma. The flavour is quite yeasty. The alcohol is quite apparant in the flavour and aftertaste. There is a strange plasticky bitterness in the aftertaste somehow. Must be from the jenever.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a huge off-white head. Wineous fruity and yeasty spiced aroma. Sweet fruity flavour. Light yeasty note. Light alcohol bite towards the finish. Lingering yeasty and caramel malt finish. Beer blended with whiskey, no wonder it is alcohol dense.

Bottle. Huge, crwamy, off-white lasting head with good lacing.Heavy lalt aroma of grain, bread and caramel. Average hops aroma of flowers. heavy in alcohol. Full body, creamy texture soft carbonation and a bitter-metallic finish. The flavor has an average duration, is moderate/heavy sweet and light/moderate bitter.

Copper amber with a large white head and hazy masses of floating debris. Rarely have I seen such an ugly beer. It gets a rare 1 for appearance. The aroma is much more promising: honey malt, yeast and alcohol are a heady combination. The taste has sweetness, sour alcohol, dark fruits and a lovely rather basic leathery taste. There’s a little bitterness, but the main impression is malt.
