It presents a very powerful and fruity nose of candied cherries as soon as the can is opened. Things are confirmed upon first tasting, with a sweetness of a fairly fleeting nature that leaves an opening for the bitterness of hops and for woody notes, like those of cherry stones. It hits the palate confidently but not aggressively, leaving an opportunity for the taster to appreciate its virtues and expect that its conclusion will without a doubt leave strong aromatic traces.
The taster also experiences its solid alcohol content, implying that the beer must above all be appreciated and consumed in moderation. However, it also implies that the beverage will confer a wonderful feeling of happiness.

50cl can on 6th March 2026. Last beer in my 'drinking around the world' mini session with myself and no one else. Pours red with a light pinkish head. Smells of red fruits and tastes also of red fruits, can't think where they came up with the beers name! It's a fruity tramp juice and you can feel the hangover arriving as you sup it.

Blik thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Hey is een helder robijnrood bier met een roze schuim. Het heeft een aroma van kunstmatige kersen. De smaak is fruitig, zoet en wrang met een alcohol achtige ondertoon.

Wie sehr muss man seine Kunden verachten, wenn man ein solches Gesöff verkauft. Picksüß mit komischen Aromen und Alk, Alk, Alk. Ich habe in meinem Leben schon viele Grauslichkeiten getrunken, aber dieses war das erste bei dem der Brechreiz 🤮gleich nach dem ersten Schluck kam. Keine Ahnung, wie man davon mehr trinken kann ☠️.

Deep garnet coloured clear beer, under a thick, dense light-pink head, slowly receding. Alcohol & red fruit jam upon opening, even before pouring. Red fruitsweets, intense, with a chemical addition, as from liquid soap. Sweet, medicinal (as the cherry laurel syrup added to cough syrup) with a closed, definitely alcohol-induced finish. Not really cloying or syrupy, but thick, oily feel all the same. Seems better carbonated than it looks. Chemical, artificial aftertaste The brown-paper-bag-bum version of the syrupy fruitconcoctions.

Pours hazy red with a small pink head. The ’aroma’ contains sugar, vodka (Red Bull), cuberdons (Belgian candy), faint cherry, chemical sweetener and rubber. It tastes heavy sweet, full stop. Soft carbonation, short and wry finish. The alcohol burns the throat and every taste. The only achievement of this one is that it lived up to its bad reputation: a fruit brew for alcoholics. One of the worst 'beers' so far.
