A playful twist on tradition, I, the Rodenbach Fruitage, offer a delightfully juicy take on the classic Flanders Red Ale. My essence is a refreshing blend – 25% of my soul spent two years slumbering in oak casks, imparting a touch of aged wisdom. The remaining 75% bursts with youthful vibrancy. A whisper of sweet cherry and elderberry dances across this base, leaving a refined yet undeniably fruity impression. This delicate balance has garnered me instant acclaim, a testament to the brewers' ability to evolve while honoring tradition.
As always, expect nothing less than world-class quality from Rodenbach. Light, refreshing, and brimming with character, I am a sour ale for the modern palate, forever pushing the boundaries of flavor exploration.

Founded almost 200 years ago, the Rodenbach is a legendary Belgian family brewery that specialises in oak-aged, mixed-fermentation ales. The brewery was established by Pedro Rodenbach and his wife in 1821, but it was only until their grandson Eugène that Rodenbach started to produce the high-quality, unique, and flavourful beers we know today. The brewery has often been credited for popularising the Belgian sour beer - which is what it’s best known for. Rodenbach’s sours are not only highly-regarded by beer enthusiasts, but they are also constantly snatching up multiple beer awards and accolades!
