This delicious, rich cherry beer is a beautiful blend of Kasteel’s celebrated quadruple-style beer Donker and cherry liqueur. The cherries as a deep, dark fruitiness to the beer tempered by the chocolate and peppery spice of the Donker. It’s a complex but easy-drinking beer that makes a great aperitif and digestif.
Founded in 1811 by Armandus Van Honsebrouk, the brewery is now in its 5th generation of the Van Honsebrouck family brewing an ever diverse range of beers.
Incredibly easy to drink and overall delicious, especially if you like kriek but on the more full-bodied side.

Slightly sour and not oversweet, this cherry beer is particularly well balanced. My favourite kriek so far!

In my youth I used to drink a lot of framboise and this Rouge beer reminds me of them. It is very sweet and very red, has added sugar, added sweetener, cherries and cherry flavour! I have enjoyed other Van Honsebrouck beers in the past and will try some of them again - but probably not this one, it's too much of an acquired taste. If you enjoy framboise try this beer, you won't be disappointed. It doesn't taste like an 8% beer; probably the strength of the beer is masked by its sweetness, spice and cherry flavour.

Definitely this beer is worth recommending. Better then "BACCHUS". I suggest to put your "Kasteel" glass in a freezer for few minutes. Before you drink one make sure you have another one spare...
