Rodenbach Vintage 2022 750ml

Rodenbach, a Belgian brewery renowned for its mastery of Flanders Red Ales, annually releases a special Vintage edition. Each Vintage is a 100% unblended ale matured for two years in a single oak foeder (large wooden cask), carefully selected by the brewmaster for its exceptional character. This meticulous process results in a beer that showcases the unique qualities imparted by the specific foeder, offering a distinct tasting experience each year.

The 2022 Vintage, sourced from Foeder No. 157, continues the tradition of excellence. This edition presents a vibrant reddish-brown hue and an inviting aroma of ripe berries and oak. On the palate, it delivers a pronounced sourness upfront, transitioning into flavour's of cherry, liquorice, and a touch of honey, culminating in a clean, fruity finish. 

Maintaining the 7% ABV, this Vintage has been described by reviewers as "deeply resonating" with "refined port notes," offering a complex yet accessible profile.

Ideal for those seeking a beer that marries traditional sour ale characteristics with nuanced barrel-aged complexity, the 2022 Vintage stands as a testament to Rodenbach's dedication to quality and innovation.
