Bottled. Ruby red in colour wih a small redlike head. Some lacings too. There is a somewhat stinging aroma combined with the sweetness from cherries. The flavour is cherrylike, sour with a dry feel to it. There is a dry and sourlike aftertaste. Quite nice really.

Bottled. Dark rubyish amber colour, with small reddish head. Aroma is acidic cherry with rubbery hints. Flavour is sourness mainly, not much cherry at all. Semi-dry palate.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2005 Bottled (BB 01/2007)
Deep cherry red, decent but quickyl vanishing reddish head. Candy cherry aroma with some acidity. Light, sweetish bubblegum cherry flavor - slightly sourness in the finish. Reasonably ok kriek.

Red with almost no head. Very artificial soap-like aroma. The taste is sour and sweet at the same time. Not a good beer. (Bottle 25cl)

Bottle Red, hazy body. Pink head. Sweet cherry-aroma. Sweet flavour, but not as a lindemans-kriek. But not my type of beer...

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2005 (Bottle 25 cl) It’s quite an ususal creation af fruitbeers, that Pierre Celisi has prodced in the "Brussels"-series. Wheatbeer and fruits. And in this case, quite a lot of fruits. If the label is to be trusted, there is a stunning 30% cherries and cherryjuice in this. This makes for a very red beer with certain impurities and a limited, slightly rose head. Pronounced -but apparently authentic- flavor of cherries and good balance between a slight sweetness and a ditto sourness. 080105

Red color with a big pink head. Dry sweet cherry aroma and sweet cherry taste. Medium body and a sweet finish.

Bottled. Clear red. Sweet cherry lemonade with a dash of artificial juice. Fanta is more complex. There is beer in here?
