Flemish sour ’kissed’ with cherries. 11.2 oz bottle (330mL) electric red, pinot colored, whitish-pinkish head. aroma of black cherry soda. tastes like creamy cherry juice. medium texture, light bodied. A very unique find!

11.2oz bottle. Pours clear red with small pink head. Smells of sweet and sour cherries. Taste is sweet cherries with a hint of the classic Rodenbach acidic character. The finish starts of sweet then ends up dry and metallic. Would be much better if it wasn’t so sweet.

Bottle at Sharp Edge Creekhouse in Crafton, PA, shared by a regular named Bruno. Pours red with a pale pink head. Malty and sweet cherry aroma. This basically tastes like a cherry jolly roger with a faint amount of dryness on the finish. A true “candy beer.” Shigadeyo and his wife may like this. Meh.

Hazy brown/reddish color - aroma of cherries and a hint of sour candy. Flavor is syrupy sweet - notes of vinegar, and the typical "Rodenbach" sour body can be found, though this is way more sweet, almost cloying.

Bottle. Poured a dark red body with decent size head. Aroma is of sweet cherry juice. Flavor is sweetened with a syrupy cherry taste that is decently carbonated but weak mouthfeel. Not bad for a fruit beer.

On tap at the Sharp edge Creekhouse in Pgh. I’ve been waiting to try this since I had Roden Classic, an excellent brew that was fun. The pour on this is dark with an orangish red hue. It is not opaque and the head is creamy off white with larger bubbles mixed in with the fine creamy ones. If you don’t look closely, the head looks like it has speckles in it. The aroma is pleasing as a fruit wine. Very interesting flavor with the first impressions being Roden Classic, but milder. I think the original rodenbach excellent flavors may be partially obscured by the attempted fruitiness. The carbonation in this brew is medium low. Very little tingle is present on the back of the throat. The finish is above medium satisfaction with no bitterness. Some may consider this slightly watery but I find it refreshing. Overall a very good repeatable brew that is easy to drink and appreciate. As good as Lancaster Strawberry or Wittekirk Rose. An excellent performer in a style group that is full of below average flavors.

Nice sour cherry aroma. Pours amber-ruby, with a small pinkish head. Flavor is pretty good, Somewhat sweet, but nor overwhelmingly, with a nice cherry twist, somewhat sour, but would prefer a bit more. Dry finish, medium bodied. Pretty good.

Aroma is barrel aged beer and cherry,you can still smell the souring bacteria,taste is creamy cherry and vanilla,with just a hint of the sourness,tastes like a New Glarus Belgium Red Lite. I thought it was tastey enough. Your girlfriend might like this a lot.
