Pours golden with a thick white head.
Aroma is fruity all around.
Taste is of apple, prune and coing, bottle indicates 31% juice used in the beer and some added aroma. The juice helps make this beer stand out from the fruit beers that use way too many fake extract. Little presence of malt.
The idea of the beer is to use fruits that are local to the region, and I really enjoy the concept of local beer.
Beer is really refreshing; low abv, ideal for hot weather. shrubber85 (2832), Wallhalben, Germany Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Chemical rotting apple aroma. Hazy yellow-orange color with large head. Very sweet apple-cranberry flavor. Another super Belgian fruit beer.
