Dehydrated fruit
This special preserving method extracts the moisture out of the fruit, preserving all its flavours. As soon as the fruit is moistened again, all these flavours are released again, and they infuse the beer perfectly.

21/XI/23 - 33cl can @ HoReCa Expo 2023 (Gent), BB: 6/IX/24, VF3038 14:42;L4 (2023-1073) Thanks to Erwin, Peter a.o. for sharing today’s beer!
Clear bright ruby red beer, small creamy pink head, unstable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very malty, grains, some strawberry jam, bubble gum. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very fruity, soft sweetness, strawberry jam, soft acidity, nice! Aftertaste: bit sourish, very fruity, lots of red fruits, strawberry jam, actually this is rather nice! Was fearing a lot more sweetness and artificial flavourings.

Top-fermented fruit beer with sour cherry and blue honeysuckle berries, a fruit species I have only encountered once before in beer (a Cantillon fruit lambic for that matter) - so this sparked my curiosity when I saw it standing on the shelves of De Wilde in Zele. Thick and frothy, pale off-pinkish, membrane-lacing, stable head, misty deep ruby red robe with dark fuchsia hue. Aroma of strong sour cherry in a ripe and juicy way, Roosvicée, raspberry jam which I think represents the blue honeysuckle, red Haribo candy but not too dominant, dark honey, honey-glazed beetroot, red fruit-flavoured bubblegum, cooked sweet potato, candied strawberries, roses, stewed rhubarb, rubber. Very sweet-fruity onset, sugary but still with a convincing amount of indeed juicy sour cherry and blue honeysuckle (the first remaining subtle and lacking in sourness, the latter adding to a general honey sweetness); lively and minerally carbonation, slick mouthfeel with quite some residual red candy-like sweetness lingering and becoming bothersome - as if candied cherries were used instead of sour cherries. Very little fruit acidity - in fact none at all, playing the sweet card all along, over a slender cereally core providing very little malty flavours. Sweet till the very end, sticking to the teeth and gums in a sugary, red candy-like way; a very vague hint of sourness does lurk in the background, but otherwise nothing in this fruit beer conveys the true nature of sour cherries (or even, indeed, blue honeysuckle berries). Overly sweet and sticky fruit beer in spite of its ambitions - a "ladies' beer" like we used to say - adding very little to the already large pool of rouges and the like; admittedly the blue honeysuckle makes it more interesting than many of its congeners, but if the end effect is the same, what can I say? Another 'beery lemonade', in the end, but admittedly with a certain twist. Not my cup of tea at all, in any case - worse even, about half of it ended up in the drain.
