Blackcurrant aroma and flavor. Real fruit, nothing artificial about it. Some yeasty bitterness, especially in the aftertaste. Pinkish brown color.

Rocs’ fruit beer with off-white, creamy head and darkish ’dirty’ purple colour with ruby hue. Lots of blackcurrant jam and crème de cassis in the nose, but complex, with hints of fig, brambleberry, yoghurt, liqueur and caramel. Fruity taste dominated by the blackcurrant, sweetish and spicy, fresh acidity but subtle, not sugary, honest and refreshing. I’m not the greatest fan of fruit beers but when this brewery does it, it turns out quite good - and I hadn’t expected anything less.

Bouteille 33cl de et partagée avec Tderoeck. Anno 2010. Cuivrée, col blanc fin. Arôme est fruité oscillant entre pêche, abricot et qcq notes surettes sur un bouquet lactique avec ce côté cassis. Palais est léger pointe surette voire aigrelet, fruité est épais avec un fini levure. Le tout restitue ce côté cassis et une bière agréable malgré son age sans pour cela apparaitre comme infectée. A un petite côté Orval’esque qu niveau de la levure.

One of the few non-lambic fruit beers that isn’t detestingly sweet. Body is a witbier, with black and red fruits. Nice sour notes.

bottle from beerplanet.eu clear brown, smooth large offwhite head. boozy and fruity aroma. fruits are blackurrant. The rather high alc. percentage makes the fruit aroma come out as bittersweet. Flavor is very fruity bitter, with a red fruity and rather fresh background, alc. and malts. very fruity brew. alc. can be tasted. The fruity bitterness and fresh fruity almost citrussy notes help a lot, but still i don’t really like the beer. too bittersweet.

Muddy amber to brown color; generous head. Minty and fruity aroma. Ordinary average beer (average malt and sugars), with citrusy fruits, some sourness. Difficult to find a point here.
