I am Rodenbach Classic — the original Flemish red-brown ale, aged in oak and steeped in tradition.

For generations, I’ve been the benchmark for Belgian sour ales. My story begins with a masterful blend: part fresh beer, part matured ale that’s spent two patient years in oak casks. That wood imparts more than just flavour — it’s my soul. A whisper of tannin, a touch of acidity, and a heritage that lingers with every sip.

On the palate, I’m a graceful interplay of caramelized malt, tart cherries, and dark fruit — sweet and sour in perfect Flemish harmony. Light, refreshing, and complex as a fine wine, I pair beautifully with shrimp in tomato, roast poultry, red fruits, or even a silky crème brûlée. If you’ve never met a sour ale you loved, allow me to change that.
