33cl, at 8.2%Vol, new brew Anno 2010, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex sweet fruit brew, too sweet, not balanced, clear, good head, nothing special

330 ml bottle a purple red colored beer with a pink white head aroma cherries fruits candy and sugar flavor cherries fruits sweet candies and sugar a very sweet beer

Very dark, but clear ruby colour under creamy, light-pink head. Fruitaromas jumping out of the glass, unfortunateley intirely poepekes (childrens’ fruit sweets), utterly artificial. Taste is even worse, utterly artificial cherryflavouring, enforced by some caramel. Positively awful, cloying. Even the light acidity in the finish seems confectioned. Very slick, oily to sticky. God, who wants to drink this stuff?

Clear bright red to ruby beer, light pink creamy head, adhesive. Aroma: strawberries, red fruits, sugar. MF: light carbon, medium body, syrupy texture. Taste: strawberry syrup, red fruit candy. Aftertaste: more sugar and red fruit candy. Not a beer if you ask me, waaay to sweet.
