Clear red with pink head. Sweet aroma with artificial cherries and almond notes. Sweet flavor that holds notes of marzipan and cherries. Ends sweet.

Pours a pale pink with a paler pink head with decent retention. Light sweet artificial cherry smell. Tastes like cherry pop, watery, drinkable though, rather inoffensive. Ok carb, thin body. Quaffable, bland.

Pours a lovely dark pink, hazy. Black cherries dominate the aroma and flavour, with a slightly lactic and musty edge to add character. A nice summertime sipper.

Redish pour with a thick lacey head. Cherry and hops scent. Not that sweet, actually kind of tart. Rather nice for a fruit beer (not usually a fan).

Bottle, from Noel Cuveliers, Abele. Red/pink, just off white head with a decent amount of stick. Buttery raw sugar aroma, strawberry jam. Simple airy sweetness, a fairly thin cherry acidity, buttery finish with a linger sense that there is quite a lot of sugar in this.

Bottle. Looks like BB4 some time in 2010. Very red, almost a very dark ruby-pink. Light foamy white head. Lightly sour cherry nose. Tame sourness. Lght cherry notes. Sourness picks up in spots balancing a fair sweetness. Seems a bit more like a commercial fruit beer than I woud expect. Juicy and enjoyable.

25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink, little sweet, clear, rocky head

Bottle. Light cloudy pinkish red colour with pink-white foam - beautiful! Aroma from almonds, marzipan, little cherry stone and the slightest of vanilla. Flavour is laid back cherries and not awfully sweet but there are probably added sugars. Very good balance and easy drinkable.
