Unfiltered, top-fermented beer with sour cherry juice, brewed with one variety of malt and wheat, and two breeds of hops. With a finishing touch of spices including coriander and orange peel. It is a sweet fruit beer with a lemony sour touch that doesn’t renounce the true beer flavour.

Bottle from Carrefour, Ninove. Pours hazy red with a lasting, small, foamy, pink head. Overly sweet aroma of hard red candy, sweet cherry, strawberry jam, hint of wheat. It tastes medium to heavy candy-like sweet, hint of sugar & cherry, and only very light wheaty sour, touch of sour cherry. Sweet, syrupy finish. Medium body, syrupy & sticky texture, soft carbonation. Really not bad at all but this is exorbitantly sweet!

330ml bottle from Vanuxeem. Pours a deep dark red, foamy pinkish cream head. Aroma is exceptionally sweet, sugary, artificial-like cherry. Taste is similarly sweet, sugary not especially cloying or sticky which is a good thing. I ended up not disliking this as much as i thought from the aroma, but yeah its a sweet one.

Nice sweetish sourish beginning. Sessionable with artificial cherry aroma there. Way too artificial sweet with beer in the back. Sticky sweetish.

330 ml bottle into tulip glass, best before 3/2015. Pours hazy reddish orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky light pink head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of sweet/tart cherry, berry, apple, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, candi sugar, bread, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of cherries, spices, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate malt notes; with good strength. Taste of sweet/tart cherry, berry, apple, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, candi sugar, bread, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruit tartness and yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of sweet/tart cherry, berry, apple, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, candi sugar, bread, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of cherries, spices, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from tart/spiciness as well. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp/acidic, and lightly creamy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a nice Belgian fruit beer. All around good robustness and balance of cherries, spices, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Helder rood bier met schuim. Smaak is erg zoet en chemisch, heeft tevens een aparte geur. Lijkt in de verste verte niet op kriek.
