Rodenbach

The Flanders region is famous for its distinctive red-brown ales, brewed with mixed fermentation techniques (yeast and lactic flora are responsible for the fermentation), and aged in oak casks to give distinct fruit character to the beer. Our range of Flanders-style ales include Rodenbach – probably the most famous beers in this style – and the delicious Bourgogne de Flandres range (including a bruin and blonde) brewed by Anthony Martin Brewing Company, the brewers behind Timmermans lambic beers.

Simply an incredibly beer. Sour berries and oak vanilla are the pre-dominant notes on the nose. Tart berries, sweet and sour fruit flavours, oak, vanilla, a touch of brown sugar, cherry, acidity (acetic) – just an incredible amount of complexity is present in this beer. 

The finish is reminiscent of a red wine - surprisingly, despite all of the fruitiness in this beer, the finish is quite dry. Rodenbach Grand Cru has been voted Best Ale in the World at the World Beer Awards – no surprise – and has been called ‘the Burgundy of beers’ by beer writer Michael Jackson.
