330 ml bottle at V&B in Quimper. Fruity beer (berry) but not really sweet. Nice and fruity, refreshing aftertaste. Good palate cleanser due to the slight sharpness. Different. I recommend

There’s a desert dry finish to this beer, dark brown sediment powders the silky head. Color is reddish brown , aroma is slightly sour . Taste is very faint with a touch of bitterness and a lot of dryness. Very different for a fruit based beer, especially a the ABV is lot higher than the norm for the style.

Red to amber colored beer. Hardly any head. Fruity aroma with some tartness in the background. Fruity and malty taste. Rather empty but drinkable. Hardly any aftertaste

Bottle. Pours a hazy reddish color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty berry aroma. Fruity malty spicy elderberry flavor. Has a fruity malty spicy elderberry finish.

Bottle from Le Comptoir Irlandais, Poitiers, France. A cloudy red brown beer with sweet red fruity flavours, hints of light floral fruits (Elderberries?) and a malty spicy finish.

ambra scuro tendente al rosso ciliegia ( o succo di sambuco appunto), velata con residuo in bottiglia [SCHIUMA] bianca, media presenza, fine, e media persistenza [OLFATTO] poco intensa, con sentori di malto, leggere note vegetali e una leggera profumo alcolico [GUSTO] inizio tendenzialmente dolce, con note di zucchero; segue una leggera acidità per un finale secco e leggermente amaro. [TEXTURE] corpo medio basso, comunque dotata di una certa morbidezza,media carbonazione ; alcohol percettibile sul fondo [COMMENTO FINALE] non posso dire che è una birra non buona; gusto pulito, piuttosto gradevole e si beve facilmente ; tuttavia non offre molto altro, rimanendo nella regolarità ed un certo anonimato. Se poi andiamo a vedere le premesse, delude ulteriormente; proposta come una birra seciale alla frutta, con apporto non comune di sambuco, lascia un attimo perplessi: personalmente non ho notato la presenza di tale bacca e nemmeno un fruttato evidente. in conclusione, dimenticandoci il sambuco, è una birra accettabile.

330ml bottle. Sweet berry aromas. Pours amber colour, with reddish vanishing head. Very poor lacework. Tste is sweet, no hint of hops. Long sweet finish. Give it a chance!

5.5% red colour with no head, fruity aroma, fruity caramel malt taste but I would not rate this as a Fruit Beer, quite nice.

Hmm what to make of this? Reddish brown body with very quickly fading head. Some light fruity notes of red apple, caramel, iron and blackberries. Taste is a mixed bag too; luckily not very sweet but with a poor hop profile. Just not much flavour in here. Slightly tintling and surely annoying carbonation. A two headed monster, this one. Somehow I still don’t mind drinking it, without being able to qualify why. But it’s not very well brewed. (33cl bottle)

Pours hazy red with an off white head. Slightly sour acidic aroma. Flavour is pretty skunky, probably because o the clear bottle. Flavour is very like a cheap lager.
