Rodenbach Grand Cru

Brewed by Brouwerij Rodenbach (Palm)
Style: Sour Ale
Roeselare, Belgium

I dont drink too many sour ales, but this one is actually very drinkable. You can smell the sourness right away, and i though it was going to be overwhelming, but its not. Pours a dark mahogany color with little or no head. it is very sweet, but not a malty sweet. Little or no hops, but it does have a mild bitterness at the end

33cl bottle from Barley Wine. It poured a dark red colour with a small creamy off-white head that settled down fast in the glass. The aroma is very sour with notes ot yeast and cherries. The flavour is bitter and tastes of yeast, cherries and appes. It has a short aftertaste.

AlohaC’s year end tasting. When it was first poured, those with way more experience and discerning palates said it was bad. Metallic. I didn’t taste it for 15-20 minutes, as the bottle sat open. By the time I tasted it I liked it. It was sweet and round in the mouth. Tart finish. Maybe i just don’t know.

Pours deep amber brown with a small off white head. Aroma is malty and sour. Taste is malty, sour tart cherries. Pretty good stuff.

Dark, reddish pour with a nice tan head. Aroma is vinegar, sour fruits, and a bit of funk. Woody, sour flavor with a bit of a cherry finish. A bit of a whiskey character. Nice carbonation, good mouthfeel.

Bottle. Reddish brown body with a fine brown head. Very fruity aroma with some spices and port. Softly carbonated. Balsamicco, port and spices in flavour. Great balanced sour ale. I loved it!
