They say I’m the most decadent of us all — and they’re not wrong. I am Grimbergen Rouge Intense, a richly hued abbey ale kissed by the sweetness of raspberry and elderberry, brought to life by centuries-old brewing tradition and a love for seasonal fruit.

My crimson robe and frothy crown are just the beginning. Beneath my vibrant colour lies a tale of balance: juicy red fruits lead the way, followed closely by clove spice, a whisper of barley malt, and a bitterness so delicate it lingers like a secret. I may be 5.5% ABV, but don’t let that modesty fool you — I deliver flavour with the intensity of a symphony, not a solo.

I shine alongside berry-laced desserts, fresh cheeses, or even poached fish, and I dazzle best when paired with ingredients like rhubarb, white chocolate, almonds, or strawberries. Inspired by the Belgian tradition of brewing with harvest fruits, I am the modern expression of an age-old joy — bold, balanced, and unforgettably Rouge.
