Bottle from Belgianshop. Pours muddy reddish with a huge frothy weak pink head. Aroma of sweet fruity raspberry candy. Taste is liquid sweet fruity candy, delicious to start with, but turns rather cloying and annoying. Too sweet for a sweet tooth like me.

It’s hard to judge this beer on the same scale as more normal beers, since it’s more like a soft drink. Not a bad soft drink though. Fresh and fruity but not totally without the slight bitternes of beer.

Bottle from the 2012 NWAF, Manchester. Pours a cloudy, light burgundy colour with a thick pink head. Artificial fruit aroma of strawberry, raspberry and blackberry. Sweet fruity flavours of strawberry jam, raspberry and light lemon. Heavy carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Mild CO2 prickle. Not for me.

Bottle @ home, shared with my girlfriend. Very hazy medium red color, big light pink colored head that lasts for quite a while. Smells very sweet, like strawberry jam. Incredibly sweet taste, totally overpowering anything else if there is anything else. Low body, low carbo. I don’t really like it, but for a fruit beer it’s not that bad.

Pours a ruby red color. Aromas of cherry, breads, and a scattering of hops. Flavor is subdued cherry, not as bold as the aroma

Wazy red-pink coloured beer with average carbonation and a large pink head. Fruity hinted aroma. Strawberry and raspberry hints. Medium to full palate. Finish is sweet fruity, but not to sweet. Balanced.

Bottle, at Oud Arsenaal. A hazy, orange-brown beer with a mega-huge pinkish off-white head. Mostly raspberries in the aroma, some sweetish notes. The flavor is much the same, sweetness and raspberries. Medium, sticky mouthfeel. Lasting finish. Way to sweet for my likings. 110429
