Named #1 Beer of the Year by Wine Enthusiast Magazine, RODENBACH Caractère Rouge is crafted by brew master Rudi Ghequire in partnership with 2-star Michelin chef Viki Geunes. It is an unblended beer, aged for two years in RODENBACH’s famous oak foeders (standing oak casks) and then matured an additional six months with cherries, raspberries and cranberries.
RODENBACH Caractère Rouge offers a fruity nose, with a taste of cherries, raspberries and cranberries followed by a woody caramel note on the finish that comes from the barrel-aging process. The taste is sour but exceptionally pure. With its long, clean aftertaste and its unique combination of delicacy and strength, RODENBACH Caractère Rouge is reminiscent of a crisp Burgundy wine and a perfect pairing alongside meats with fruit glazes, salads with cranberries, side dishes and desserts.
