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

Flöska, thank King Cecil for sharing. Sweet strawberry raspberry like aroma, like sweet juice. Ok mouthfeel. Sweet berry jam flavour.

Bottle. Paired with sweet and sour filled crepes at Hotel Domien Montreal. Cloudy purple, medium pink head. Aroma of mixed fruits, heavy on the blueberries and raspberries. taste is sweet strawberry tart, with a bit of cranberry tanginess. Decent.

7- Huge fruity aroma, mostly raspberry, but there are other dark berries.
4 Deep cloudy pinky red, tight very light purple head.
6 Deliciously fruity taste, packed full of raspberries.
4 Thin body, crisp carbonation. Huge berry finish, fading to a lovely light milky grain.
13 Stunning thirst quencher, a real case of glug-glug-gone.

Murky, raspberry-pink...ahem, ’beer’ with a fine, persisting pink head like a real beer...but pink. Fruit smoothie, cherry and raspberry Soothers, cherrydrops aroma- entirely pleasant. Hugely sweet like a a whipped alcolic fruit smoothie frosted with sugar. None of the drying, aspartame nastiness I was expecting. Stickly on the lips like the Ribena-ade with full sugar lemonade Nana Vease used to make for me when I was little. Obscenely sweet, but I’m ashamed to admit I’m quite partial to this, and should have saved it to share with the missus- but didn’t. It is, unquestionably, a ladybeer out of the very top drawer; tooth-rotting and abhorrent, and I’m loving it. Sorry Octo, well done Het Anker.

Lovely ruby coloured and clear. Has a pink head, medium duration. Aroma is very fruity, lots of red berries, nice. Flavor is sweet and light astringent. Creamy texture.

Bottled 330ml. -Murky red/brown coloured (looks like beet juice), medium sized pinkish head, quite artificial PEZ candy nose. Acidic sweet berries taste with mild tart fruity finish. Overall quite artificial beer. No thanks, again.

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.

Huge red foamy head. Cloudy red color. Fruit mix, citrus, dark light fruites. Light body. Light sweet. Lingering fruity finish.
