Recognisable by its red cap, Rochefort 6 offers a smooth, fruity expression of Saint-Rémy’s character. Its amber colour and ruby highlights introduce cereal and caramel notes carried by a gentle body. At 7.5% ABV it is the least alcoholic beer in the Rochefort range: the number refers to an old measurement of wort density, not its alcohol content.
