2018 Advent Beer Review | |
Date: Dec 5, 2018 | |
Beer: Rodenback - FruitAge | |
Style: Blend | |
Source: Roeselare, Belgium | |
ABV: 4.2% | |
"Rodenback FruitAge is a blend of aged beer - 2 years aged in oak | |
foeders - young beer and 9% red fruit. A Rodenback signature taste | |
balanced with sweet-sourness and fruity notes. Pure refreshment." | |
FruitAge | |
This one comes all the way from Belgium in a can that's modeled | |
after a RedBull energy drink. I've never had anything like this | |
before and I was excited to try it. The closest thing I can describe | |
it to is a carbonated Ocean Spray cranberry juice cocktail. I can't | |
pick up any alcohol flavor at all. There's a hint of the oak barrels | |
that lingers after the initial burst of sweet and sour. Calling this | |
a beer is a bit of a stretch. It's closer to something like a pink | |
champagne that would be fun to break on New Year's Eve. | |
- Would I buy it again? No | |
- How much could I drink in one night? A couple of cans before | |
giving up and switching to a real beer. |
