21/11 0.33 l bottle @ Hopdevil, Zagreb. This poured red, murky body with medium head. fine wildberries aroma, a bit cheesy though. Flavor is quite similar, sweet to sourish berries, plums and other fruits, but no real beer felt. Pleasant and definitely refreshing, alcohol is not felt at all, maybe just a little bit in aroma in some medicinal way, but simply I can’t like fruit beers when they don’t have any beer character. Like drinking a good fruit juice.

Bottle, Belgian Belly. Poured a dark red with a dissipating light reddy head. Aroma is lightly sour with bags of berry fruit. Flavour is initially sweet with a lorra berry then becomes lightly sour. A bit too sickly sweet, so no cigar.

33 cL bottle. Pours murky orange with a slowly diminishing, creamy and light pink head. Light woody, mouldy and mild berry fruity aroma. Flavour has a strange mouldy note lending towards dry woody. Sweet and light acidic touch in a dry malt mix with a mix of berries. Somewhat unrefined and messy flavour - yet it slowly becomes more enjoyable for each sip. Ends with a dry woody and berry flavour.

Cloudy red appearance with thick white head. Aroma is fruity in quite a vinious manner with some oak coming through. Very sour taste, a lot of sugar and wood is present. Unfortunately far too sweet and sour to be drinkable.

Pours a reddish-brown with a pink head. Aroma is powerfully sweet. Fruits, sugar, blackberry, and raspberry. Syrupy sweet aroma. Thick mouth with carbonation. Overly swet flavor, made me shudder on first taste. Very berry taste with sugars and maybe some other fruit. Good for a few sips, but way too sweet to enjoy an entire bottle.

0.33l bottle purchased here in SplitThick,medium to big whitehead went med pace with a lovely murky red tinged with brown body. Malty, oily/syrupey nose with hints of dry orange peel and dusty fruits. Sweet juice like taste, slightly sourish/tangy, orange, with a slightly roasty/stale unimpressive malty backbone, notes of alcohol. Far more... original than most other fruit beers, but not one of the best Anker products. I was hoping for an explosion of fruity flavors backed by the usual lovely Anker maltiness and esthers, and it was a letdown. It’s an ok beer, interesting in a way, but not a classic.

Bottle: Pored a hazy red with a off white creamy colored head. Aroma was that full of berry, mostly rasberry to my nose. Awesome fruit blast of rasberry and finished with malt flavor.
