Lattina. Il gusto al naso propende per l'alcolico. La finezza olfattiva è un timido profumo, permanendo in maniera appena percettibile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta cristallino. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera appena percepibile. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il tetto della bocca riconosce indizi di miele, pane, frutta secca, resina, agrumi, erbe aromatiche e alcol presente.

2/I/25 - 25cl bottle from Dranken Marlou (Zonhoven), shared @ my parents’ place, BB: XI/2024, L216 17:40 (2025-5)

Clear bright to deep red beer, creamy dense off-white head, a little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very intense cherry aroma, cherry flavoured candy, a hint of marzipan, a bit artificial. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of cherry, cherry flavoured candy, soft acidity, a little bitter, but mainly very sugary with a metallic touch. Aftertaste: fruity, more artificial cherry flavoured candy, a bit metallic, little bitter, sugary finish, ok, not the worst sugary Belgian cherry beer I’ve ever had, but not really good either.
