Description
The history of the brewery dates back to 1679. At the end of the eighteenth century, Jacobus Liefmans settled in Oudenaarde and gave the brewery its name. It was around 1900 that Liefmans started filling maturation tanks with black cherries, on a small scale. Local farmers brought their excess crops of black cherries to Liefmans and swapped them for beer. One individual who played a key part in this was Rosa Merckx. She was closely involved in the brewery’s operations over several decades. Thanks to her encouragement, the cherry beer evolved into a real success story.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il floreale. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma è destinato a vita breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è arancio pallido. Il corpo è rotondo. Il dolce è pesante. L'amaro è moderato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è sufficiente. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di agrumi, zuccherino e mela verde.

Bottle at home. Aroma of cherry, candy, raspberry. Flavour is very sweet with a light touch of sourness. Body is light to medium. Not undrinkable, but just way too sweet for my taste.

Аромат хороший и даже необычный для фруктового пива с вишней. Аромат не сильный но приятный, есть сок от черешни, полу сладкий, немного косточки, схоже на морс немного, немного листьев от ягод типа смородины. Цвет бледно розовый. пены почти нету. Вкус такой же сбалансированный и приятный. В меру сладкий, есть снова сок от вишни, но без кислинки, немного сухости в конце, намеки на ягоды смородины, но без горячи. В целом отлично, но пил если честно достаточно холодным.

Весьма приятное фруктовое пиво. Аромат ягодный и плотный. Пена быстро опадает. Цвет очень красивый, яркий и насыщенный. Вкус не концентрированный и это радует. Чувствуется малина. В послевкусие имеется легкая ягодная кислинка. В целом для женщин почти идеал. Но споить их этим пивом не получится, так как алкоголя всего 3,8
