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.

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.

Can 50 cl. Pours a clear, deep red with a creamy and lacing, pinkish head. Cherry aroma - in a pleasant way. Medium body, dry cherry accents - now somewhat more artificial with that chemical astringency that artificial flavors leave. 060325

Rating overgezet van Ratebeer, geprobeerd op 22-8-2024. Blik op vakantie in Normandië geprobeerd met LiekevdV en Inoven. Het is een troebel paars kleurig bier met een volle roze schuim. Het heeft een aroma van kersen en bosbessen. De smaak is vol fruitig, kersen en cassis achtig. --- Beer merged from original tick of 8.6 Cherry on 22 Aug 2024 at 20:26 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.

Blik gekocht tijdens vakantie in Frankrijk en gedronken met Tomhendriksen. Bordeaux rood helder bier met stevige roze schuimkraag die lang blijft staan. Aroma van zure kersen, frambozen, bessen en bosbessen. Smaak is zuur, met het fruitige van een suikerspin. De zure smaak blijft even aanwezig om later plaats te maken voor voor een bittere hopsmaak.

beautiful appearance of dark ruby colour and ruby-ish head; aroma of dried cherry and marzipan notes; taste of some bitterness, cherry juice and marzipan notes; perfectly pretends to be a kriek despite the fact that its base is a lager; I like it!
