The Gauloise Fruits Rouges keeps its Triple character with a fragrant touch travelling between bitterness and freshness. A bouquet of red and black fruits, especially the nose. It includes the beautiful ripe plum Altesse, raspberry, blackcurrant and even some cherries, it’s complex. This remains a Triple and thus, behind its sweeter appearance, this beer is powerful. Cellar temperature is perfect to allow full expression.

Bardzo przyjemne i rozgrzewające piwo owocowe. Czerwone refleksy, napój lekko zamglony. Piana różowawa, i obfita, mocno narasta w kielichu.

33cl bottle. Couleur rubis/acajou foncé, col épais rosé. Arôme fruité très présent sur ce côté trop sucré et avec son lot d’édulcorant. Palais, impression de boire un sirop fruité, note la framboise, cerise en grande partie. Le tout reste trop collant aux lèvres et ma rappelle un ’frisco’ glacé avec ce côté carrément surfait et trop sucré. Pour moi, la Délirium Red me vient à l’esprit, et c’est donc là pas un compliment. Aucunes impression d’un houblonnage et un malt restant trop discret. Le tout est encore rendu pire par un alcool à 8%. Dommage venant de DuBocq qui au fur et à mesure des ans me déçoit de plus en plus en essayant de combler sa ligne de bières avec des copies des grosses marques du marché.

Very dark, but clear ruby colour under creamy, light-pink head. Fruitaromas jumping out of the glass, unfortunateley intirely poepekes (childrens’ fruit sweets), utterly artificial. Taste is even worse, utterly artificial cherryflavouring, enforced by some caramel. Positively awful, cloying. Even the light acidity in the finish seems confectioned. Very slick, oily to sticky. God, who wants to drink this stuff?

Clear bright red to ruby beer, light pink creamy head, adhesive. Aroma: strawberries, red fruits, sugar. MF: light carbon, medium body, syrupy texture. Taste: strawberry syrup, red fruit candy. Aftertaste: more sugar and red fruit candy. Not a beer if you ask me, waaay to sweet.
