Draught: Aroma of cherries, sour mix, funk, medicine, vomit, and blue cheese. Poured dark orange/red in color with a huge, foamy, pink head that lasted throughout. Clear. Excellent lacing. Sweet flavor. Tastes of cherry, funk, and medicine. Medium body. Thin, oily texture. Soft carbonation. Dryish, metallic finish. Better than I had expected.

On tap at Liars Club in Alpine Ca. Nice sweet flavors of cherries. Almost to sweet. But still pretty good.

This Rouge is courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep deep red with white head mixed with pink hues. The aroma is big and borders on just huge with a cloud of sweet cherries that are syrupy and rich and mildly cough syrup like. You can actually smell the cherry fruity flesh. The taste is full of cherry sweetness, mild cherry tartness and then more cherry fruit. Very yummy with just pure fruity satisfaction and no sense of the ABV.

33cl bottle labeled as Kasteel Rogue. Pours dark red colour with a medium pink head. Definitely cherries up front, not too sour though. Did not seem thin and chemically like some fruit beers. Refreshing.

Kasteel Rouge- I was told to try this by many, and I was very dissapointed. Very dry and bubbly with a pink/white head. The burps didn’t stop until I put the bottle down. Looks like a shirley temple when poured. The cherries were very dominate, got hints of cotton candy as well. A very one-demensional beer, made for those who enjoy cherry flavored sugar water. Next time I’ll use it to feed the hummingbirds.

Cherry, cherry, and more cherry! Kasteel rouge is sweet, very carbonated, and flavorful. If your into lambics this ones for you. Not my fav. but, overall a good product.

330 ml bottle labeled as Kasteel Rouge.

Pours deep burgandy with a limited pink head. The aroma is overwhelmingly dominated by cherry juice, and comes on strong enough that I begin to worry that we’re look at a cherry italian soda here. And at first sip, that’s basically what I get. Huge cherry syrup. Sweet. Sticky.

But underneath all that, there are some interesting things going on. A woody twist. Some metallic bitter finish. Cherry pits and skins. If this was drier, and less overwhelmingly cherry dominated, it might be quite good. As it stands, not really my cup of tea.

Pour is a ruby red with a small pink head. Aroma is sweet cherry cough syrup. Flavor is again sweet cherry with a bit of wood smoke. Its cherry and its sweet and not much else.
