Bottle. Hazy pink amber color with a medium white head with medium duration. Strong fruity (raspberry, cranberry and other berries) aroma and flavor. With a nice bitter / sourness finish.

An unclear amber beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet with lots of raspberries and so is the flavor leading up to a dry end.

(Bottle 33 cl) Unclear reddish brown with a creamy, vaguely reddish head leaving some laces. Markedly fresh and fruity. Medium body with thick accents of red berries and fruit. Extremely fruity and sweetish without ever being cloying - a light tartness keeps things in the balance. But there isn’t much beer over this, and the 6,5% ABV are scaringly well hidden - sort of alkopop style. Probably a good aperitif. 270106

33 cL bottle. Pours murky orange with a slowly diminishing, creamy and light pink head. Light woody, mouldy and mild berry fruity aroma. Flavour has a strange mouldy note lending towards dry woody. Sweet and light acidic touch in a dry malt mix with a mix of berries. Somewhat unrefined and messy flavour - yet it slowly becomes more enjoyable for each sip. Ends with a dry woody and berry flavour.

Bottled. Hazy nut brown, ridiculously firm head. Sweet raspberry aroma. Fruity and malty, really sweet. Ingredients inculude fruit juice, and it really reeks of raspberry jam. The flavour is attractive, but it’s too sweet and lemonade like.

Bottle. Clear orange red coloured with a beige head. Light acidic aroma f berries with notes of caramel. Light acidic flavour of berries with a harsh finish.

Bottle. Slightly fruity/berry aroma. Dark red colour, hint of brown. Small stable creamy head. Very sweet flavour, fruity and berryish. Has a little aromatic hoppiness. Saftevand.

Muddy amber color with red shades. Mellow aroma of fruit candies (mix of strawberry and cherry). Far from being a real beer, yet it’s somehow pleasant to drink, quite sweet and with some fruitness (cherry and strawberry, inverse order); but the arrière-goût is too strange (kernels bitterness…).

Murky red with fine white head. Fine lacings on the side of the glass. Aroma and taste of rasperry. Sweetness from fruits. Medium live carbonation. Soft texture. Finish is a well balanced combination between sweetness & sourness. Pleasant & easy to drink! Great fruit beer from Het Anker!

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Clear red ruby colour thick lasting cream head. Sweet jammy red fruit aroma. This is just not very good. Some stewed fruit in mouth, but not very attractive. Just a bit artificial and crap really. Can I have a beer I like please as the last 3 have ended up down the sink?
