2.0 Bottle. Copper red, thin short lived off white head and moderate condition. Slightly tart metallic sourness in the nose, a fruity cherry note and a hint of woodiness. Full bodied and sticky sweet in the mouth with a dominant but artificial cherry fruit note and little else to point to a sour beer base. Finish is sweet cherry and thats it.

3.5 Smaakt fruitig en fris. Smaakt eerder naar soort grenadine/ rosée wijn dan bier.

3.7 Really easy drinking fruity beer, although not obviously beery. Pours a deep pink, almost red, with a pinkish bubbly head that fizzes away very quickly. Has a cherry drop aroma, with hints of apple, and a sweet fruity taste with a touch of tartness towards the finish, light bodied with mild effervescence

2.9 25 cl bottle @ home. Pours red with a pink head. Aroma and flavour are cherries, almonds, and sugar - with a slightly sweet finish.

1.9 Pours a pink color with white-pink head. Musty fruity sweet aroma. Taste is like sweet fruity bubblegum. I spit it out. Notes: bottle, Jun ‘21

3.7 Red with a large head. Tart and musty with red wine and berries. Medium finish. Medium body

3.1 250ml bottle (3.9%); BB 27th Jul 2022. Drank at home during a Belgian Beer Day to celebrated our 44th Wedding Anniversary on 7th May 2021. Cherry red body, small pink head. Fairly sweet cherry flavour, not tart or sour, but not syrupy either.

3.0 Bottle 250ml; Look: Clear red. Well carbonated with a negligible off-white head. Aroma: cherry, berries, tartness, strawberry jam Body: medium Taste: jam, cherry, nice sourness Overall: not too bad. Not sessionable for me

3.1 Bottle from Beer52 pours red with very little white head. Aroma of cherries which is also pleasant in the taste. Very light carbonation.

3.5 3-9% on the bottle.

3.2 Pours clear red with a pink head. Aroma is cherry and light spices. Light, sweet. Taste is cherry and some spice. It’s almost like a light fizzy wine. Decent but not for me.

2.9 Frothy pink hued head stayed on a cherry coloured body. Cherry & confectionery aroma. Medium bodied, gassy with a sticky back. Cherry, jam, fruit cordial & confectionery tastes. Not for me.

3.7 Bright red pour. Sweee cheery smell with slight lime hints. Taste of cherry with hints of cinnamon to help balance the beer. Slight bit of tartness on the backend.

3.4 [25cl bottle from Beer52 at 3.9% ABV] A bright cherry red pour with a ring of white head; sweet but not sickly cherry taste; with a slightly tart refreshing finish.

4.5 Really nice Belgian cherry beer. Lovely colour, great taste - a touch too sweet for it to be a 5/5.

3.5 Cherry

4.0 From Beer52 had at home in April 21, a very nice fruity beer with lime and didn't have mint. 275ml bottle.

2.8 3.5% lovely stuff, like an alcopop.

3.4 Cherryade appearance, cherry aroma, cherry flavoured, cherries to finish. Delicious as I like cherry.

3.3 Bottle. Pours a dark red colour with a fluffy red tint head, the aroma is hoppy with plenty of fruit especially a hint of strawberry, the taste is medium bitterness and fruity with a dry bitter finish.

3.7 Bottle. Bright reddish-pink pour with minimal bubbles. Lots of cherry, with some raspberry sorbet zest. A touch of sugar, but doesn't taste 'added' and the fruit flavours feel earned/legit. Tasty.

3.3 Bottle from Beer 52 – note 3.9%. Has a powerful aroma of cherries (with strawberry hints) which can be detected from a long way off. Pours a bright strawberry red with minimal transient (pinkish) head. Red cherries to the fore in the mouth, sweet and sugary but with enough tartness for that not to spoil the taste. Sticky jammy finish. Nice enough, but not really my kind of beer.

3.5 Very fruity, mainly cherry taste; High sugar content. Beautiful red cherry color.

3.1 250ml bottle Sophie's Beer Store listening to Sneaker Pimps on 6 Music. Unclear deep red, frothy off-white head that sticks around. Aroma of light red berry fruit, strawberry ice pop. Taste is moderately sweet, gently sugary, some assorted red berry fruit though not coming across like natural flavours. Fairly clean, refreshing.. no Rodenbach sourness. I do get the impression this would be quite nice with ice on a super hot Summer's day, rather than the -1c Winter's day I'm currently drinking it on. Simplistic and gently fruity overall.

3.0 250 ml bottle. Smell of fruits like soda or juice, red color low head. Taste like soda, not like a Kriek wich i would have liked :( boring, but not terrible.

3.8 Retrospective review - enjoyed a bottle at Christmas. Reddish tint to the pour. Bit cherry hit in the aroma. Nice balanced flavour, cherry fruit, sweet and decadent. I've not tried a lot of fruit beers - but this has been my favourite so far!

3.6 Solid clean rodenbach fermentation taste. Mildly fruity. Not so sour. But very drinkable. Craftbier shop advent

3.5 Pours reddish-brown, well carbonated and with a small fizzy head. Medium retention and minor lacing. Aroma is pure cherries with a vinegar note. Malts and hops are hidden behind. Tastes sweet and sour, neutral malts (mild bread) and no hops. Lingering sweetness of cherry, but the finish is dry. Light and refreshing, well carbonated. A tasty fruit beer. Nothing less, nothing more.

3.3 Kolor rubinowy, klarowny. Piana barwy różowej, wysoka i dość trwała. Aromat jest słodki, owocowy (wiśniowy) z elementami gumy balonowej i delikatnym akcentem migdałów. Smak słodki, lekko kwaskowy. Cały czas obecne są słodkie wiśnie. Wysycenie wysokie. Ciało średnio niskie. Tekstura lekko szorstka. Posmak słodki, owocowy.

4.1 This beer has some of the earthy flavour of Lambic beers, though a little more beer and less fruit, with that less sweetness would have done it quite good. I had to check on the bottle whether the fruit was raspberry or cherry, as it seemed in the middle. Quite fizzy and overall a pleasant middle road between bitter and sweet.
