Brewer's notes

"A Beer Cloaked in Secrecy"

An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more than it answers. A sort of dry, crisp, refreshing, not-quite pale ale. #9 is really impossible to describe because there's never been anything else quite like it.

Our secret ingredient introduces a most unusual aroma profile which is balanced with a residual sweetness. Our gateway beer, # 9 is very accessible, appealing to a broad range of pallets.

Apollo & Cascade

Where ancient alchemy meets modern day science to create the best-tasting beer on the planet.

Happy New Year!

Beer: Kasteel Rouge
Style: Fruit Beer
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 8%
IBU: 8
My rating: 3.5/5
Venue: Skillman, NJ, Skillman, NJ
Brewery: Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck, Ingelmunster, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium
Brewer's notes: Its unique dark red colour is obtained by mixing Castle brown that has been left to mature for at least 6 months with sour cherries.

Kasteel Rouge is aptly named for it’s deep, dark red color brought on by the addition of sour cherries to a base of brown ale, which is then left in the barrel for a six month period. This ale will surprise many with the sour of the cherries and the 8% alcohol level.

This beer has gastronomic qualities and can be drunk as an aperitif, with a BBQ, to accompany a dessert or simply as an outstanding real ale.
