Draught Red to deep pink beer under very fine, rosy-tinted white head, fast gone. Horrible fruitaromas, terribly artificial nose, like red cherry-sweets for kids. Watery, fruity-sweet taste with a sourish flavour reminiscent of citric acid - which shouldn’t be in beer... Fizzy MF, served over-cold. Artificial, us-too fruitdrink. Messrs. Van den Bogaert, shame on you!

From tap at Grand Place. Pours clear and golden amber to pinkish with a small, thick pinki head. Aroma is sweet raspberry fruity, sweet impression coming through. Cherry and raspberry sweet flavoured, somewhat thin. Citric and sweet finish. Light watery finish.

Draft, Beerpassion festival Antwerp, Cleary light red coloured beer with almost no carbonation and a small white head. Very fruity aroma, strawberries, raspberries.. Light palate with a fruity hint. Finish is sweet, ligth fruity, again strawberries, rather dry near the end. A rather atypic fruit beer but much better than de ’Zomerkoninck’ fruitbeer of last year.
