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.

flesje met ander etiket dan op de foto afgebeeld. rood met roze kraag. aroma van behoorlijke frambozen zoetigheid. smaken van een licht zuurtje, enorme zoetigheid en behoorlijk plakkerig, veel fruitsiroop kersen, framboos. stroperig, matige body, smaken zijn redelijk lage co2. maar komt een beetje gemaakt over door de siroop.

Another top fermented sweet cherry beer, since 2005. Moussy, dense, sticky, pinkish to pale lilac head, cherry red colour with a somewhat amber hue, misty. Aroma dominated by a candy-like cherry sweetness (strawberry icecream, red candy), with a lemony sourish touch and some faint caramelly malts. Sourishly sweet, lemonade-like onset with strong carbo, releasing a glimpse of sweetish malts but quickly losing itself in a thick, syrupy, grenadine- and jam-like, cloying sweetness, which is the last thing happening in the palate. I basically bought this for rating purposes, I guess I’ll never like sweet fruit beers anyway. But I did have worse than this, even.

Bottle from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours quite rose with a pink tinged head. Aroma is cherry, but more like cough syrup than kriek. Med body or so. It is a little tart, but there’s a lot of sugar, and the cherry is muddled in the mix. Actually it’s cherry, so that’s a plus. It’s lightly, barely, tart, so that’s sort of a plus. But there’s just too much sugar for it to be pleasing.

Bottle - Intense cherry flavors. Cloudy pinkish red with a pink bubbly head. Tons of cherry, very sweet and syrupy. Thick and cloying. Not as horrible as I expected from the reviews, but definitely a small glass maybe with or as desert.

330ml bottle. Cloudy red colour with average to huge, thick, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, pink-ish off-white head. Intense morello cherry aroma with slightly artificial touch, hints of sherbet. Taste is artificial, sweet-and-sour, hints of sherbet, sweet artificial cherry aroma. If you like this kind of taste (I do), then it’s not bad - but it surpresses any hint of beer (if there is); anyway; I’d prefer to find this taste exclusively where it belongs - in fruit-gums.

#2200 (yeah I know not the fanciest choice – I will do something cooler latter on :) BBF 01/2014. Dark red, pinkish head which is quickly gone. Nose reminds me of Cherry Coke, super artificial sweetener heavy, sweet, better than taste, very fake,… Taste is crazily cloying, cough syrup, very artificial, too much added artificial flavours, artificial bitterness, crazily artificial,… Even body is like a soda, touch too light. This is a soda & not a beer. This has more in common with soda than with any beer. Like Lindemans Kriek with too many spoon artificial stuff thrown in there. Rediculous – would much, much rather have a Cherry Coke than this which is what this aims for – or at least that is how this feels like.

Draught at Pibar, Lausanne
Hazy bright red color with pinkish head, not persistent. Nice aroma of cherry syrup with light cherry pits. It had some residual sweetness, some cherry syrup fruitiness, and light acidity; therefore, quite balanced.
