Brewer Q & A
One of the easiest-drinking beers on this list also happens to be one of the most delicious. Rodenbach Fruitage is the first canned beer in the Belgian brewery's venerable history, and they smashed it out of the park on the first try. Lightly fruity, mildly sweet and strikingly tart, this beer is complex enough for beer connoisseurs of all stripes to pick out singularly complex Belgian wild yeast notes, but inviting enough that the sweet and tart combination will keep craft beer neophytes happy as well. Flawlessly produced and worth seeking out at every opportunity.
