Bottle @ home. Pours hazy red with a small white and reddish head and lots a lacing. Aroma?...all over my livingroom - and it now smells like cherries, strawberries, raspberries, melon...and other undefinable fruits. The taste is very sweet and unsurprisingly very fruity. It has a bitter and tangy aftertaste with a bit of alcohol in it. Not as bad as I expected, but not really for me. I hope I can get the blue one that I originally wanted the next time. ;-)

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2013 On tap at le coup de pompe in Nantes. Ruby red colour. Aroma of cherry. Taste is really sweet almost like a candy. Not for me. N

Pours red with pink head. Aromas of cherries. Flavors of cherry syrup. Yick.

330 ml bottle,wrapped with red foil around the neck and the crown cap. Poured into a tulip glass at home. ABV 8% Pours a clear and deep red colour beer, with one finger of pink-ish head, with good retention and very light lacing on the glass. Aroma of cherries, sugars and it has also a bit of a lactic smell, like a cherrie ice cream. Taste is sweetg at first, with lots of cherries, but becomes a very tasty sweet sour on the aftertaste. Less lactic now and more acidic. Medium thickness on the body, quite carbonated. Tart on the palate. Very nice beer, I opened it after work expecting to drink a strong belgian ale when I noticed the cherries on the elephant’s ear on the label, and I was a bit disappointed by that, but it turned out to be really good.

Maybe it is an artificial beer but I dont mind thisbobe. Maybe a tad too sweet. At the bierfestival groningen

deep dark red, pinkish thin head leaves bit lacing. Aroma has mildly fresh berries, cranberries, cherry, quite natural aroma, bit sweet and sour. Good palate, sour-sweet, medium body, soft with mild carbonation, easy to drink, finish has lots berries. Liked this one a lot, looks match the great taste.

Deep blood red, pinkish head; fresh cherry aroma; very sweet cherry flavoured beer; very, very sweet, in fact, but surprisingly palatable - maybe the base beer is just good enough to prevent this being a too-sweet novelty; I can see why people would hate it, but I got the same saccharine enjoyment out of it as I did from necking sugar cubes as a kid.

hazy red colour, minimal pinkish head; aroma of cherry; taste is dominated by sweetness...too much sweetnes with cherry and alcoholic notes; drinkable, but very far from its competitors (e.g. Kasteel Rouge).

330 ml. bottle. Opaque red to brown colour, small head ( at least for what you expect in a Delirium), leaving a ring. Smell of cherries, vanilla and spices. Medium carbonation and body, taste is tart, with cherries, vanilla, fruits... and medicinal syrup. I could give it another try, but it’s not exactly my favourite Delirium.
