Vieux Temps is a thirst quenching top fermented ale. The beer has a light amber colour and a fruity, full bodied taste, with a light prune flavour. It has an alcohol content of 5,2% volume and is best served at 3°C.

The straight Rodenbach appears to be a simpler beer than the Grand Cru but the reverse is true. The classic is a blend of the two year old Grand Cru and a younger version. A true Flanders Red Ale should be a mix of young and old ales. The result is refreshing and full of assorted flavours - cherry flavoured cough sweets and a mild balsamic vinegar being perhaps the two dominant notes. Much more balanced, laid back and delicious than the unblended Grand Cru.

	The brewer allow the beer to macerate with fresh cherries, raspberries and cranberries. After this maceration in oak, the beer re-ferments in the bottle. The result is RODENBACH Caractere Rouge, an exceptional RODENBACH with fruit maceration and a 7% alcohol volume. The brew is more than unique and extremely exclusive.
