"This reminds me much more of a wine, than a beer". My girlfriend replied after tasting this remarkable bottle, from Belgium master producer Rodenbach.

Our wine of the week is in fact a beer. A red ale, that has matured in gigant oak barrels for two years and then macerated with cranberries, cherries and raspberries for six months. This is one of the most remarkable beers I've ever come across. 
It's lovely and refreshing to drink on its own, but even better with food. It has special talents that makes it the most versatile food pairing beer I've ever tasted. It will handle anything from barbecued pork and poultry, to desserts like ice creams and chocolate cake. Try it with sushi and curry dishes. It will amaze you.
A couple of years ago we had the pleasure of travelling to Belgium, accompanied by chéfs and sommeliers. Food vs beer was the task at hand, and we even had a visit at the famous Rodenbach Brewery. You can watch the full episode here:

Tasting notes:

​Rodenbach Caractère Rouge - 149kr


Deep ruby red colour. 
Wonderfull smells of red fruits, caramel and grandmas raspberry jam.

Elegant and very fruity flavours in the mouth. Extremely well balanced acidity, that opens up to a delicate sweetness. 

Long and fresh finish.

As the chéfs in the episode said after tasting it: "It's just a fucking great beer!"

Enjoy! :)
