Rodenbach  
Roeselare, Belgium    
     

Grand Cru

6.0%  ABV 33cl
     
Rodenbach is arguably the most famous producer of Flanders red ales. The grand cru would be described as 'old' beer as it aged in Brandy casks for up to 2 years before bottling. This period in the cask imparts not only a reddish hue to the beer but also a 'tart' sourness that is a great counterbalance for the sweetness of the malt.
