Matured Ale with Sour Cherries. 
Rodenbach Alexander was brewed for the first time in 1986 on the occasion of Alexander Rodenbach’s 200th birthday and is now back by popular demand to the delight of beer lovers in Belgium and abroad. It is a blend of 2/3rd aged Rodenbach (100% 2 year aged beer) with 1/3rd younger ale, macerated with sour cherries. The natural flavour and taste of sour cherries brings a perfect match between the sour beer and the red fruit. Its aftertaste is reminiscent of a Burgundy wine and its freshness makes this beer the perfect aperitif or accompaniment to cheeses or dessert.
LIMITED EDITION.
Note: The 2016 version has the abv of 5.6%.

Sour Ales & Lasagna

As the name suggests sour ales are sour. They show notes of funk, high acidity, some minerality and low bitterness. They are a great choice for heavier pasta dishes such as Lasagna. The acidity cuts easily through the fattiness of the béchamel sauce and the woody character of the beer works well with the slightly burned and crispy top layer.

Sour Ale

Sour ale is a catch-all term for any golden to amber colored beer where the implementation of a microorganism other than traditional brewer’s yeasts ensures a drier, thinner, sour and/or funkier product. Such microorganisms includes Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces. Essentially, its lambic, brewed outside of Belgium.
