Style: Fruit Beer
Harelbeke, Belgium

Serve in Flute

Bottle. Pink, hazy, small and fully diminishing head. Moderate, artificial sweet aroma, artificial raspberries. Body is light to medium sugary sweet, flavor is artificial berries. Finish is short, artificially sweet berry flavor. Beer?

Strange. Loved the aroma, hated the taste. Started out amber with a slight pink hue. The aroma was all berries and very nice at that. The flavor however was syrupy, artificial. Kind of like the old diet sodas with that fake sugar shit they used to use. Thin finish. I would have poured it but I can’t bring myself to pour beer down the drain. Sucked it up and finished it.

In my search to try and find a beer that was like lindeman’s framboise but cheaper, I happened upon this beer. The color is what you would expect with a little more of a beer quality then the lindeman’s. The flavor is not as sweet or syrupy but has a very nice fluffy wit quality to it. The after taste is not good. There is an artificial sweetener flavor that is completely unpleasant.

If there are good rose-beers somewhere, this isn’t one of them. Not the worst I’ve tasted either. Just an ’easy to drink might be good on a terrace when it’s very very hot-beer’.

bottled as Wittekerke Framboise, Texsun pink grapefruit color with tall white foam,aroma is very faint, fruit stripe gum, flavor is raspberry jam and 7up cola, cloying sweetness

Pours pink with fizzy head. Aroma of raspberry. Flavor of raspberry. Mouth feel light nd fizzy....not much else to say...

Very easy to drink. Colour is okay, smells pretty nice and taste is okay. Mouthfeel didn’t work out too well for me.

Light pink hue with a white head. Nose is raspberries, very light sugar, and light malt. Easy palate, light raspberry, very faintly tart finish.
