Really nice. Rosey colour with a pink head. The aroma and taste really have the berries. But they don’t make it smell, taste or feel like an ale.

Piana gęsta, różowa, sztywna, pozostaje na ściankach szklanki by później delikatnie, leniwie spłynąć w dół szkła.
Aromat wybitnie wiśniowy, ale można też wyczuć truskawki, maliny, jogurt z czerwonych owoców (mleczny akcent).
Smak rewelacyjnie orzeźwiający, są w nim wiśnie, maliny, truskawki, kwaskowatość jakby od czerwonej porzeczki, która delikatnie rozwadnia to piwo dając mu lekkość.
Minimalnie musujące i bardzo delikatnie słodkie, jest akcent mleczny, który trochę kojarzy mi się z cukierkami Alpenliebe - nie przeszkadza.

Kolor ciemno czerwony, rubinowy, klarowny. Piana różowa, niska, trwała. Pozostawia nieznaczne ślady na szkle.
Aromat słodki, owocowy, głównie czerwone owoce (malina truskawka, poziomka) z delikatnie kwaskowym tłem.
Smak słodki (owocowy) z lekką nutką kwaskową. Głęboko w tle delikatna, pestkowa goryczka.
Wysycenie średnie. Ciało średnio. Tekstura gładka. Posmak długi, słodki, owocowy.

Bottle bought at the Belgian Beer Weekend years ago and rated from notes. A ruby red pour with a sweet berry nose. The taste was syrupy and sweet berries, actually it was kind of cloying and more wine cooler than beer like. A nice drink but not such a great beer.

No clue why serving a beer on ice would make it a different beer ...... But hey . if this is the new rule , than so be it ... Original rating of the same damn beer , without ice ; Available everywhere in Belgium . and hey, in the style of arteficial , sweet fruitbeers, this is my favourite . It pours red, big white head . Smell is just plain sweet fruityness . Taste is likewise . The complex fruit mix makes this one interesting enough to stand up agains the filthy arteficial character - that especially rises when its warmer , thats why they now serve it on ice. Yet I’m agains watering your beer down - . Overall, interesting thirst quenchener . If they have nothing else I’d want, I’d take this . Difference with ice - the filthy sweetness is less intense . The taste waters down if you dont drink fast enough .... comclusion ; Is this a joke ? Beer + ice is NOT a new beer ....

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy wine red with airy but stable pinkish head. Sweet aroma of strawberry jam, with notes of yeast. Ditto flavour, with subtle bitter notes of hops. Vinous aftertaste. Refreshing but not rocking.

Had this in bottle (someone ex-neighbours Nick & Anna I think? left this at the house) consumed at home, Sunday 14th September 2014 Pours pinky red with large fluffy pinkish hued head. Sweet, a little syrupy sweet, but fruity with sweet cherries. Lacks tartness and a bite, but I knew what I was going to be like and fact is I drank it all quite happily and to be fair there is a little sour cherry. Its ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Pours a wine red color, slightly hazy, topped with a small pink head. There is an extremelly pleasant fruity aroma, berries, most dominant being raspberries. The taste is sweet and soury, slightly cider like, but very pleasant.

Tasted as Liefmans Fruitesse On The Rocks, and following the brewer’s instructions, I pour it into an ice cold glass with ice cubes. I’ve had thousands of beers so far but this is a first for me. Thick but quickly collapsing, bright pink, stable head, colour a bright and fiery grenadine red, clear and transparent. Strongly sweet aroma of fruit lemonade, grenadine, red candy, grandma’s elderberry syrup, strawberry ice cream and the kind of old-fashioned medicinal candy once used to treat a cold; barley and wheat are somewhere in there, but very, very far away. I hesitate to even take a sip of this but when I do, the artificial candy-fruit sweetness is there in all its glory, like the old-fashioned grenadine diluted with mineral water I used to enjoy as a child, medicinal elderberry syrup, lots of sugar and a sourish accent more reminiscent of lemonade than wheat. The thinnish mouthfeel suffers even more from the melting ice cubes and only far away in the finish, a faint hint of hop bitterishness appears, only to disappear again as quickly as it came. I admit this is a refreshing beverage on a hot day, but the relationship with actual beer? Sure this is a good cure against a persistent cough, though. That being said, I’ve had far worse in this particular style and adding ice cubes makes it quite enjoyable if you are not looking for real beer. Perhaps I should add ice cubes to all these fruit-witbiers from now on.
