Affligem Rouge

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

deep ruby coloured ale, deep rich heavy malt, little blackcurrent, deep bitter linger.

Alla spina @ a pizzeria in Novara. Amber with an off white head. Yeast and malt dominate but there’s some sweet caramel, hops and metallic notes underneath. Nothing particularly special but after a week of drinking Raffo, Moretti and various random Italian beers, this was like the best beer ever.

On tap at the Pianeta Birra, Rimini, Italy.
brewed specially for italian market. Pours a nice clear amber colour with firm pale beige head and fresh malty nose. The aroma is maly and slight hoppy with notes of caramel and fruit, but the end is short and quite weak. Pity, beginning was very promising.

Red coloured beer with medium white head and medium carbonation. Strawberry like aroma (fruity) + sweet. Full little creamy palate. Finish is fruity sweet, balanced.

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.

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*.

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.
