Rodenbach Redbach

Formerly brewed at Brouwerij Rodenbach (Palm)
Style: Fruit Beer
Roeselare, Belgium

Pours out a wonderful red color with a huge pink head. Aroma is sweet and sour. Flavor is very sweet with a very sour. This is a great brew and i wonder why its rated so low.

Has a very refreshing tart cherry taste. The aroma is very cherry. The color is a very nice dark red. This is a unique beer.

Bottled. If anyone out there is familiar with Cheerwine, this reminded me a little bit of that - lots of carbonation, heavy cherry flavoring. Even the coloring (deep red) was reminiscent of a cherry soda. I was skeptical but I actually thought it was pretty good.

Fizzy light pink head. Reduces quickly but has soda like carbonation. Fruity aroma with raspberries, cherries, a bit of oaky tartness and a little ginger. Color is a bright port red. Light ard fruity flavor. Good helping of cherries. Sourness is at a minimum. Little dry and metallic but finishes clean. Not very acidic. Cheery sweetness balances very well with the traditional flemish sour taste. I like this a lot. Very easy drinking. Lingering raspberry tartness. A decent fruit flavored flemish sour.

Bottle. I’ll start by saying I am not a big fan at all of the traditional Flemish Sour Ale. With that said, I thought the additon of the cherry, cut the acidic character of the ale and made this quite enjoyable. Poured a a nice cherry color with a pink head. Nose was completely cherry and the flavor was a nice, slightly puckering sweetness. I would have this again, although it is much more of a fruit beerwhich is the only reason I checked it out.

330ml bottle. Clear and a beautiful garnet red hue. Sparse white head. Vinegar, tart cherries aroma. Musty citrus aroma. Rice wine vinegar. Slight peanutty, asia viniagarette. Good, but I’ve had better Sours.

Bottled. Looked nice.. clear ruby with lots of rising carbonation and a short-lived pink head. Nose was muted with sour cherry juice, a hint of must, and lots of very, very sweet cherries. Tart cherries find the tip of the tongue... with meatier, almost artificially-sweetened sweet cherriage on the middle... sweet and tart cherry finish. This was not complex, but was certainly drinkable... with neither the sweetness or tartness becoming oppressive... came across as more of a "Flemish sour for the masses".

Bottled. Pours a clear mahogany wth almost no head. Aroma and taste of tart cherries. Crisp finish. Refreshing and doesn’t taste a lot like ’beer’ which means my wife likes it a lot.
