  Brouwerij Rodenbach (Palm NV-SA), Rodenbach, Vintage 2018 (Bottled 2020), Flanders Red Ale, Aged in Oak Foeders, Foeder No. 220, 7%.
  Unblended Flanders Red-Brown Ale matured in oak caks for 2 years.
  Rudi Ghequire, brewmaster.
  BBE: 04/08/2025
  EAN: 5410583803090
  TN 05-02-2021 ca. 19DegC:
  Good, but too much acids for me vs a light sweetness.
  Only a little bit complex and rather short.
  TN 09-02-2021 ca. 19DegC:
  Now much softer, less harsh acids and somewhat more creamy, round and with a subtle soft mousse.
  TN 13-02-2021 fairly cold ca. 12DegC:
  To compensate for the acids I tried a 50/50 blend of this Rodenbach and Brand Dubbel Bock (BBE: mrt 21; so I guess at least 2 yo; Lot 9256528Y), which was a good blend (S=88).
  Conclusion:
  I llke it, but too much acidity for me.
  S=87 R=7(10) 2/23/21 M=2021-2028 or maybe (much) more.
