33cl bottle. Color is hazy red with sediments in it. Aroma is berrie smoothie. Taste is sweet, fruity- mostly cherries. Ends a bit bitter and alcohol kicks in too.

Fruchtiger, etwas modriger Antrunk. Wenig alkoholisch, dezent herb und auch hopfig. Süßlich-modriger Mittelteil, hefig, herb-alkoholisch. Die Fruchtigkeit ist eher gering und in weiten Teilen nur hintergründig erkennbar. Süßlich-herber Abgang. 10/9/10/9/10/9

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Pours a clear golden brownish color. Aromas of mild berries, wheat bread, and a touch of hops. Flavor is a nice balance of soft fruit flavor with malts and a crisp dry finish. I’m not big on fruit beers, but this one has a subdued flavor, not over the top.

On tap at Moeder de Gans, Teuven. Made with Abbesse de Mouland cherries from Voeren. Deep red orange with a nice pinkish head. Complex yeasty and fruity aroma. Surprisingly dry, though with some fruity sweetness. A bit perfumey. Quite good.

Bottle, 33 cl; from Bierloods. Hazy roze-orange color, with an thick dark white-pinkish head. Aroma sweet, fruits, syrups. Medium body. Taste sweet (but not so much), spice, fruits some bitter touch.

33cl, exclusive brew with black cherries, from De Bierloods Adegem, complex brew, not balanced, cloudy, rocky head, nice fruit brew

Huge, dense head with a yellowish or pinkish shine, over reddish-orange beer. Mildly sweet, fruity-aromatic nose. Fruit could be indifferently cherry, raspberry or even redcurrant. Harsh, spicy flaovur, starting very shortly as bitter, then mainly sweet, with a faint threat for cloying. Fruitiness all but gone, just a faint aromatic finish left. Medium bodied, cloying not setting through. Bit watery, even. Rather unassuming, and also uninteresting fruitbeer. Get some serious cherries, will ya!

Bottle: Dirty ruby red pour with a pink off white head. The aroma is sweet fruit and malt. Taste is a sweet fruit, that subsides to a caramel malt. Very interesting fruit beer, almost like a US instead of a Belgium.

Strong aroma of berries, not artificial, some caramel malt in it. Hazy, dark red coloured with a large reddish-beige head. Taste is sweet, fruity (cherry) with some caramel malts. Some carbonation in it. Some bitterness. Thanks to my parents who found this one at a beer festival somewhere near Hasselt I believe.

(bottle, traded with DerDoppelbock) Hazy, red coloured hue with loads of floaties swimming around and a big pinkish foamy head. Dusty, moderately sweet and fruity, slightly artificial cherry-like aroma. Sweet flavour with a bitter edge in the finish, medium bodied, crispy mouthfeel. The cherry notes are not extremely intense; finishes quite bitter with a slightly sour, cherry fruity aftertaste. The alcohol presence is obvious and a little bit harsh. Mediocre Fruit-beer.
