Another flavoured version of Vedett Extra White specially designed for foreign markets (China in the first place), this one containing raspberry - and thus reiterating that awful 'rosé' concept once invented by AB InBev (Hoegaarden Rosé) and imitated by several other macro breweries. Again thanks to tderoeck for sharing! Thickly moussy, pale pink-tinged white, dense and stable head, clear pink-hued rosy amber robe. Very artificial aroma of red candy ('poepegatjes'), grenadine, white sugar, Fanta Rosé, bubblegum, candyfloss, plaster, white soap. Very sweet onset, red Haribo candy and candyfloss with indeed a raspberry character - as in the old Fruitella raspberry candy, but nowhere near actual raspberries; lively minerally fizz, bubblegummy middle of thin pale malts under loads of white sugariness and artificial red raspberry flavours, with all the candyfloss, Haribo and grenadine persisting into a cloying finish in which little else happens. Not even the slightest bitterness or sourness come in to at least try and save it - this whole thing remains as artificial as it could be, a rosé without any redeeming element. Even worse than the aforementioned Hoegaarden Rosé and belonging to a class of 'beers' I will always hate - but admittedly an interesting tick so thanks Tim!

Clear light pink to orange beer, small creamy irregular off-white head, unstable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of raspberry flavoured candy, nothing else, very artificial smell, nothing like real raspberries or raspberry jam. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: all sweet and sugary, very artificial, candy, all raspberry flavoured candy, sticky. Aftertaste: candy, nothing else, artificial too sugary and sweet, no real fruits, no beer flavour whatsoever.
