Ename Rouge

Tap to rate

Ename Rouge is the fruit beer of the Ename range, brewed with cherry juice rather than flavoured afterwards. It pours deep red beneath a pink head. Ripe cherry dominates the nose, with a soft malt background and a light tartness. On the palate the juice sets sweetness against acidity, fresh and rounded at once, and the finish is clean and free of any noticeable bitterness, so the fruit has the last word.

◐ Taste

On the palate, the cherry juice creates a rounded sweetness that plays directly against natural acidity, resulting in a refreshing and balanced middle. The low bitterness allows the fruit character to remain central, while the juice's acidity prevents any cloying sensation.
