Subject: Rodenbach
Brewing Company: Brouwerij Rodenbach N.V.
ABV: 5.20%
Location of Purchase: Beer Garden in Media, PA (6/6/10)
Date of Consumption: 6/20/10
Analysis: Muddy-brown, kinda sweet, had a wine-like, fruity taste (Iknow that sounds weird but it is good) , not a lot of carbonation, didn't produce a large head in a hefeweizen glass. Still new to Belgian brewing but this is the best new beer I have tried in 2010. Goes down nicely and alcohol is well masked. The slight sweetness is delicious and refreshing which leads to it being a beer requiring at least three servings per seating.
Final Verdict: I wept when I finished my last beer in the pack and immediately invested in more. Great taste and another grand slam for Belgian brew. Good for a night out or to enjoy at home. Price is a bit high but it is worth every penny for each drop that comes out of the bottle. Run, don't walk, and go track Rodenbach down.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? A DEFINITE "TRY IT"!

Depends on the 'fruity' taste, as I've had some that were too sweet, but most Belgian brews are good.
Ha, you said head. This sounds decent. May give it a shot. Not usually a fan of sweeter beer but I like anything that is muddy brown. Is it like an ale?
A beer reviewer? Its a tough job, but someone has to do it. I do like Belgium beers. I'll try it next time I go to BevMo. Thanks for the review.
I'm looking forward to the release of Cassatar. This is one of only a few trailers that I like out there in Blogdom. Well done.
