Bottle Red, hazy body. Pink head. Sweet cherry-aroma. Sweet flavour, but not as a lindemans-kriek. But not my type of beer...

(Bottle 25 cl) It’s quite an ususal creation af fruitbeers, that Pierre Celisi has prodced in the "Brussels"-series. Wheatbeer and fruits. And in this case, quite a lot of fruits. If the label is to be trusted, there is a stunning 30% cherries and cherryjuice in this. This makes for a very red beer with certain impurities and a limited, slightly rose head. Pronounced -but apparently authentic- flavor of cherries and good balance between a slight sweetness and a ditto sourness. 080105

Bottled. Clear red. Sweet cherry lemonade with a dash of artificial juice. Fanta is more complex. There is beer in here?

Pale pink head, lively at first, but fast gone; fully clear, garnet red. Syrupy nose, going over in even less credible children's sweets. Heavy, cherrygums' taste, going over in some rather better tartness on the palate. Acidity is lemony - fake. Terrible gums' flavour goes on and on. Light to medium bodied; slickness - from the syrup... In Dutch we have an expression: "een afknapper" - the ultimate desillusion, the female that makes everything go limp. This is a textbook example: after the nice peach and raspberry, I really thought they had something nice going. So, it's no: this scores badly on all fronts: no haze, terrible aroma & flavour, fake acidity. Bweeeuhh.

Still purple brew with a steady head, tart cherry aroma and a dull cherry flavour. Overall a plain kriek.

Bright red color. Very nice cherry aroma. Poor body, thin, too much bitter.

A beer the same red as a Danish mailbox with no head. The aroma is nice; a sweet cherry aroma. The flavor is way too sweet - with a powerful artificial cherry note, while the body is thin. Not a recommendable beer - the cherry sirup makes it too artificial.
