Bottle. Pink red hazy color with a nice reddish head. A wheat beer with raspberry. Aroma and tast is raspberry and wheat malt. Very light mouthfeel.

An unclear pinkish orange beer - the same color as juice from pink grapefruits, with a huge dense pinkish head. The aroma is very sweet with strong raspberry notes, and the flavor is way too sweet for me with notes of artificially fruits and raspberries. And to make it worse the body is thin.

ZBF2008: From tap. Pours hazy red/brown with a light pink/white head, dense. Solid raspberry aroma. Sweet raspberry, much like soda/juice. Fruity and sweet finish. Nice but more a sodapop than anything else.

(Bottle 25 cl) Damned be the artificial sweeteners. If it hadn’t been for them this would’ve been close to the perfect fruit-beer. Now the sticky, artificial sweetness detracts so much. Damned.... Pours hazy pink with a slightly pink head. Very marked - yet fresh - raspberry aroma. Distinct raspberry flavour with a rather high underlying tartness. But as said, the sweeteners are a bit too present. Does this really have Petrus Aged Pale Ale added??? 290905

Bottled. Brownish pink colour, mediumsized white bubbly head. Apricot, raspberry and some blueberries in aroma. Raspberries in flavour. Sweetish sour flavour, and aftertaste.

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2008 Bottled. Dark pink, small head. Interesting balsamic raspberry aroma, like from a real Flemish red beer. Smell like beer, but don’t taste like it. The flavour is extremely sweet and very artificial with loads of saccharine and an unbearable sticky mouthfeel. The saccharine is aching in the mouth long after the beer has run down. What an utterly useless excuse for a beer from a respectable brewer! I much rather drink alcopop, Coors Light or lemonade. I have lost all confidence in Bavik.

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with a light pink head. Aroma of raspberries. Very sweet flavour of raspberries.

Draft @ Bakken, Copenhagen. Pours a slightly hazy reddish color with a small pinkish white head. Has a fruity fresh berry and raspberry aroma. Fruity sweetish berry flavor. Has a fruity sweetish frsh raspberry finish.

Bottle. Slightly cloudy, pink colour. Small stable pink head. Sweet flavour, quite a lot of raspberry. Slight acidity and aspartam in aftertaste. Starts off OK, but gets yucky after a while.

Bottle from Vinens Verden. Huge head with good duration. Color is pink. Aroma and taste are raspberries, cherries, yeast and malt. Nice and refreshing.
