I see Belle-Vue fruit beers being in the middle of the scale, on one hand you have the super sweet almost alcopops of Jacobins and Timmermans, then you have the complex sour ones from Cantillon, Belle Vue seem to hold the middle ground with the likes of Mort Subite. This is not over sweet, but is not exactly beer. With a little more sugar this could qualify as an alcopop but in this state its just an average kriek. Ok. BrainBug99 (12), USA

Every bottle I buy seems to have a noticeable amount of sediment at the bottom. shorlin (373), St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada

But, that interesting blend of cherries and
lambic-y undertones is just not there.
Needs more oak and horse-blanket. Gooner (136), Chatham, Ontario, Canada
