COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Also marketed as Rosarda in the UK
A blend of regular Wittekerke, the best Belgian wheat beer, known for its fruity aroma and taste, together with 10% of the purest Raspberry fruit, and a dash of the Petrus Aged Pale ale, the original mother beer that is aged in oak for up to 3 years. This combination is made in heaven, beer-heaven at the Bavik brewery in Belgium.

tasted on draft as well as from bottle. Although a freet beer it is not that sweet. A medium fruit beer

At long last, a can of "the fruity pink" is mine, all mine! Lucky, lucky me... Contents of 8.4 ounce can (why?) fill slightly 1/2 of my glass with a cloudy, pinkish red liquid, smallish pinky-white head. Tart raspberry nose wafts out...candyish... Bracingly sour at the fore, puckering, then...poof! nothing, gone in a flash. The palate is drained dry before we could feel any flavor from the brew, such as it is...This raspberry flavor overtakes any of the charm of the witbier style, which Wittekerke does so very well, and delivers something forgettable, and, ultimately, regrettable. What is this supposed to be? A mix of framboise sweetened lambic with a wit? It’s the worst of both worlds! Is it a cheap attempt to cash in on the "chick market" with an artificially sweetened, artificially flavored brew? didn’t work! Tastes like Sweetarts mixed with Kool-Aid, watered down! Deserves to die...bad Bavik, bad!

Bottled. Orange coloured with a reddish gleam. Dense off white head. Sweetness, raspberries and sugar in the nose. Flavour i very sugary. Has raspberries again and not much else. Is a bit too sodapoppy. Is medium bodied. Raspberries dominates the end.

maeib (6398) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - JUL 8, 2007
Bottled - Swan & Rushes - Leicester. A hazy, light pink coloured beer with a white head. The aroma is very sweet and fruity with reasonably tart raspberries. The taste is sweet and fruity. Raspberries again. Quite poppy, and dare I say girly, but a bit of fun I suppose.

Bouteille 250ml, courtoisie de Jean-Marc G. De couleur orange rosée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées sucrées (framboises, notes de pêche et d’agrumes), léger de sucre bonbon (sirop de framboises) avec de faibles notes de blé. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-élevé et une texture légèrement aqueuse et sirupeuse fruitée. Goût de levures fruitées sucrées, légèrement aigres (framboises, notes d’agrumes et de cerises) et aux faibles notes boisées lors de l’entrée en bouche et qui par la suite deviendra plus sucré (rappelant un sirop de framboises et léger de sucre bonbon artificiel) et accompagné d’un léger goût de blé puis en finale l’on retrouve un regain d’aigreur fruitée asséchante avec quelques notes de levures. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, moyennement aigre de fruits (framboises, notes de cerises et de zest d’agrumes), léger de blé et avec des notes de levures.

TaxiDriver (1372) - Stadland, GERMANY - JUN 18, 2007
Bottle. The smell of perfume with moderate hops and grapefruit. Pink colour, white head which disappears nearly. Very sweet beginning and ending, a average duration (which is already to long for me). Light body with a lively carbonation. This one’s definitely not for me...

Small can from Party Source. Light raspberry purple color with a small white head that diminished quickly with fair lacing. Soft sweet raspberry aroma. Light to medium body with a sticky texture. Moderate sour raspberry flavor with a medium tart finish of moderate duration.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2007 bottled. Thank grace this one was a freebie because it is rubbish. Cloudy pink grapefruit colour with thick foamy head. Smells of peach and grapefruit and tastes very much the same. Reminds me of Pink Killer. Thin palate. Fiish of artificial sweeteners. I wasn’t expecting much, but this is really dull. Not as sickly sweet as some and though unoffensive, it is totally boring.
