Clear ruby red to purple beer, big solid creamy light pink head, stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: cherry flavoured candy, sugary impression, slightly malty, all artificial flavourings impressions. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, soft acidity, lots of cherry flavourings, pretty bitter, not as sweet and sugary as I had feared, but it has that nasty cherry candy flavourings. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, lots of artificial cherry flavourings… Meh…

The obligatory sweet cherry beer in this series, aimed at the ladies I suppose, a sexist cliché which is unfortunately still very much alive in Belgium. Creamy, sticky, stable, very regular, light pink head over a deep ruby red beer, clear with quiet fizz. Aroma of cherry jam and cherry yoghurt, a hint of white bread, refined sugar and a light sourish lemon touch. Straightforwardly fruity onset, cherry juice which gives a hint of sourishness but otherwise very sweet, but fortunately more in the form of cherry jam rather than cherry candy; somewhat syrupy too though, smooth but a bit sticky, bit bready in the background but the cherry sweetness remains with sugar as the last impression, though luckily not too cloying. I had much sweeter and stickier sweet cherry beers than this, but it is still one-sided, bland and boring. Could be the Blonde (perhaps in a ’downtuned’ version) flavoured with cherry juice and lots of sugar...?
