Rodenbach Redbach

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

Very pleasant sour cherry. Almost a candyish quality to it really - virtually indistinguishable from cherry jolly ranchers. Mild sourness, cherry pits, light malt. Very pleasing. Deep red color, pinkish foam.

11.2 oz. green twist off bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a deep cherry red, with a thin ring of foam around the edges. Aromas are of sour pie cherries, vanilla, some cherry pits, caramel malts. Flavors are about the same as the flavors, with sour cherries dominating the flavors, and a background of vanilla. Sweet, and tart at the same time. Refreshing, light alcohol beer hits the spot on a hot summer day. Finished a little fruity for me though.

Pours a pink/red with a short pink head. Aroma is of sour, over-ripe cherries. Flavor is very strong, sweet cherries and spritzy carbonation at first which turns sour and a little Belgiany and then disappears. One dimensional and short lived, but interesting.

Bottle. Unclear hazy light medium red color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to light red head. Aroma is light to moderate cherry, light sour - acidic, rhubarb. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and light light acidc with a average to long duration, very refreshing and easy to drinke. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (210408)

Brown/red/orange color. Not much head. Aroma is sweet candy. Favor is an immediate cherry smack with a smooth tartness and oak esters.

12oz bottle. Pours reddish pink, with a large pink head. Aroma of sweet cherry, with some some sourness hiding in the background. Sweet cherry is the primary flavor, along with some brown sugar and modest sour notes. I’ve sampled this multiple times; sometimes it seems way too sweet, tonight the sweet and sour balance perfectly.

Reddish coloured beer with small white head. Sour aroma. Little sour palate. Finish is bit sour and herby.

Poured a medium dark red with a medium pink color head with average retention. Aroma of cherries is overpowering and mostly comprised of syrup but some classic Rodenbach sourness is also noticeable. Taste is at first very similar to some of the other Belgian syrupy beer around with a not so enjoyable chemical aftertaste but I did noticed that toward the ends there is some of the Rodenbach taste I have been accustomed to. Overall, I believe this to be a classic Rodenbach with some added chemical syrup which render the experience more or less enjoyable.
