Bottle, 9%. Slow gusher. Yeasty and fruity aroma with a hint of pepper. Hazy golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is sweetish and citric with a decent note of Belgian yeast. High carbonation. Citric and sourish finish.

'Fruited' version of this brand, made with aromas of blueberries, blackcurrant and unspecified 'red fruits' - I am prepared for the worst. Thick and frothy, plaster-like lacing, off-white, regular, closed and stable head, crystal clear pure orange blonde robe - less 'red' than expected based on its premise and turning misty and deeper amberish with sediment so apparently unfiltered. Aroma of industrial red fruit lemonade, cassis of the worst possible quality, granulated sugar, blueberry-flavoured ice cream, blueberry crumble from the supermarket, cooked cloth, grenadine, dried banana, chewing gum, peanut hint. Sugary sweet onset, sticking to the teeth with very lemonade-like effect, indeed artificial red fruit and cassis aromas dominating, fizzy carb, slender body; thin cereally maltiness under ongoing sugars and 'fake' sweet fruit aromas with lots of bubblegummy effects, the sugary sweetness - like industrial red fruit lemonade - ruling till the end, disturbed only by a bitter note, reminding me more of bitter medicine or something chemical than of hops. This is again one of those 'modern' Walloon sweet fruit beers, with not enough fake fruitiness to add a deep red colour, but more than enough sugar to render it 'unbeery' and - for me - close to undrinkable. Even the craft beer movement proves incapable to extinguish this kind of bland, childish and artificial rubbish in conservative Belgium, apparently.
