What is Rouge 0.0?
Kasteel is the range of Vanhonsebrouck, a family brewery in Izegem, West Flanders, named after Ingelmunster Castle, which the family bought in 1986; Xavier Vanhonsebrouck owns and runs it. Its 0.0% fruit beers on sale in the UK are Rouge, with cherries, Tropical, with mango, passion fruit, peach and pineapple, and Rubus, with raspberries.
Rouge 0.0 is the alcohol-free version of the 8% Kasteel Rouge, and was Vanhonsebrouck’s first alcohol-free beer. The brewery describes a ruby red beer with a pink head, aromas of cherries with hints of elderflower, and a mild acidity that keeps the sweetness of the cherries in check. The label lists cherry concentrate, sugar and the sweetener stevia.
The Dutch and Belgian label gives 37 kcal per 100ml, about 122 a bottle; its sugar figure doesn’t add up, so we don’t quote it. We haven’t scored it yet.
