Affligem Rouge

Brewed by Brouwerij Affligem / De Smedt (Heineken)
Style: Fruit Beer
Opwijk, Belgium

Bottled. Pours out in a clear dark amber colour with a small creamy white head. Sugary aroma of strawberry jam. Sweet sappy flavour of strawberries. Sulphuric and cloyingly sweet jammy finish of Strawberries.

Bottled, thanks Bov! Hazy brownish amber, small head. Artificial strawberry aroma. Very sweet. Feels empty despite it’s considerable size, and with it’s sticky mouthfeel and complete lack of depth it has little to offer.

Hazy red color, small pink head. It has a bad smell of red fruits (strawberries?) and dirty hair. Common beer with a medium sweet syrup to give some fake fruitness, a bit too bitter at the end, and still the same feeling of dirt. Very bad.

Bottled, thanks Bov. Reddish colour, small reddish beige head. Aroma is red berries and yeast. Flavour is quite much the same. Quite sour. Also mild wooden notes.

Bottled 25cl. It pours a apricot colored beer with a pink head. The nose is of blackcurrant, strawberries, plastic, burnt rubber and vinegar. Overly sweet taste. Cloying. Sour and very artificial. Huge amounts of burnt plastic and condoms?! showing up. Unpleasant finish. Really poor. Thanks a lot bov for this beer.

slightly hazy reddish colour, solid and foamy bright pinkish head; aroma of strawberries and cheap vinegar; sweet and creamy mouthfeel; juicy and dusty sweetish finish of artificial red fruits and glucose - urgh! what a shame!

Red coloured beer with some average carbonation and an average white head. Sweet, artificial sweet fruity strawberry aroma. Medium palate. Finish is over-sweet, candy and fruity. Totally candy-like. Very medium fruitbeer. Don’t see why a decent Belgian brewery has to brew this kind of S*.
