The Kwak Rouge arrives in a 6 liter barrel at PerfectDraft!
Kwak Rouge from Belgian brewery Bosteels is a refreshing cherry and almond beer. Behind its ruby color and pink head, there are aromas of red fruit, cherry and candy with a hint of wood.
Delicately bitter, once in the mouth, we find fresh and very fruity flavors of cherry, with a certain power that is due to its 8% alcohol.
This Lager takes its inspiration from the German style of lager, Helles. Helles was first produced in Munich in the late 1800s as an alternative to the typical ‘dunkelbier’ (‘dark coloured beer’) produced in the area (‘Helles’ means ‘light-coloured’ in German).
These, like the first Helles beer that was brewed back in 1894, has a sweet, malty flavour balanced with a light aromatic hoppiness that makes it very refreshing.
The brewer uses Naked Golden Oats to make his Lager. Naked Golden Oats are grown without husks so that even more sweetness and flavour can be extracted from the grains during brewing.
