Pinkish red color. Yeast and just a hint of red fruit in the aroma. Raspberry, cherry, yeast berries and lemon in the flavor. Sweet, sugary and sticky. Cellar aromas and flavors. Sulphury. Disappointing.

Reddish colour with big fluffy head. Aroma has lots of red fruits. Moderately sweet. The cherry is very muted which is a good thing.

Bottle as Leireken Ad Vetus Recipe 1830 - Wilde vruchten - Fruits sauvages. Slightly unclear rosé amber with fluffy white head. Sweet malts, sweet old gone brown cherries, strawberry lemonade from syrup, red fruit. Sweet, medium bitter and light tart. Dry grainy and rusty bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation. Cherries need lambic. Can’t really enjoy this sweet malty fruitbeer anymore.

Pours hazy red with a small, frothy, pink head. The aroma contains (sour) cherry, raspberry, strawberry, jam, some herbs and wheat. It tastes heavy sweet and light sour, especially in the short finish. Light body, sticky texture, fizzy carbonation. Getting some wheat and as such, 'bio', in the finish, reminding me of Gauloises Fruits Rouges, but it's still a very sweet Fruit Beer.

Biobiertje met sappen van rode vruchten. Mooi alcohol en bittertje in het begin, achteraf komt de natuurlijke zoetheid

Bottle sampled at Kulminator. Pours cloudy dull amber. Aroma of urinal cakes, nettles and peas. Flavour is over moderate sweet and a touch acidic. Sickly nastiness in the palate making me feel nauseous. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Overall, terrible. It starts bad with the aroma, but the palate is sickening.

Spelt-beer based fruit beer launched after the original Leirekens were restyled (in 2008) and trying to exploit the then-popular trend of combining different "wood fruit" tastes into one beer. This is based on Leireken Witte Spelt and uses six different extracts of red and dark fruits. Light pink head over a deep ruby red, hazy beer. Artificial aroma of red fruit jam, grenadine, pomegranate, elderberry coughing syrup, sour cherry a bit less pronunciated, sourish spelt, some spicy hints (pepper, ginger). Fruit sweet taste, artificial but still on an acceptable level, but sugary cloying, drying in the finish with a light acidity, but everything remains dominated by the fruit extracts. I never liked witbier-based fruit beers and spelt beer to me is usually just a variation on witbier, so...

Decent fruit beer, at least the fruits taste quite real and not so artificial.
