LAGER. FRUITEE. AROMATIQUE.
Une bière intense aux reflets violet foncé et au caractère bien fruité ! Elle révèle une belle palette aromatique où se mêlent des notes de cerises fraîches et de crème de cassis.

0.5L blik van de lokale Albert Heijn. Donkerrood bier met roze schuim. Geur is vrij kunstmatig met een doordringende chemische geur en nodigt niet echt uit om dit te gaan drinken, echter de smaak daarentegen is best goed en komt natuurlijker over met veel kers en wat framboos. Verder niet echt zoet maar fruitig. Al met al een vrij matig bier.

500 ml can. Pours a garnet red with full pink head. Aromas of sugary cherry soda and a bit of sulphur. Flavors of chalky sweet cherries and dry wheaty malts. Kinda as expected…

50 cl. can @ home, bought @ Plus, Culemborg.
Clear pink red with pink head. Cherry and other red fruits aroma. Sweet taste with a low bitter finish. Not as bad as I feared.

A clean, reddish colour with with a big, frothy-creamy pink head, good retention and thick, foamy lacing. Cherry essences in the aromas reminding you of Cherry Halls, or candy Nibs. Hints of sourness in the finish, with a tad tart left. The taste has the cherries, but not overly sweet, with a mild tarty finish. My GF thinks it taste like Vick's Cherry cough drops, and it is essences of cherry - but I am not disgusted by it. I find it well done for what it is.

500ml can. Pours a clear magenta with a large, foamy, long lasting, pink head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, artificial cherry and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, artificial cherry, blackcurrant and floral hops in a dry, slightly tart finish. Medium body with a syrupy texture and soft carbonation. A bit sweet and artificial, but still exceeded my expectations.

Can from Delhaize.
A: hazy red, stable, foamy, pink head.
A: cherry candy, 'poepegatjes', grenadine, powdered sugar.
T: sweet cherry candy, grenadine, sourish lemon juice, vague grain.
F: sweet candy, slightly bitter syrup.
P: medium body, slick-sticky texture, soft carbonation.
Obviously very artificial, but there might be some redeeming qualities here or there compared to other Strong Lagers or 'Rougekes'. I might have enjoyed this in a "silly me" kind of way.

From Del Haize, Brussels. Short lasting head. Light body. Medium to high carbonation. Ripe cherry, a bit of sour cherry. I was expecting worse, actually it's drinkable.
