Grisette Fruits des Bois

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

Bottled (from lahoublonniere.be). Ruby red colour with big long lasting pink head. Aroma is raspberries, blueberries, some mild sourish notes. Flavour is red currant, raspberry, black currant, blackberry and some sour wooden notes as well. Rather sweet, which makes it best while cold.

Bottle. A cloudy deep red beer with a huge, quite persistent, pink head. The aroma is sweet and sugary with notes of raspberries and blueberries, but also sourish, medicinal and skunky. Very cloying nose. The flavour is, no surprise, very sweet and sugary with a medium acidity and hints of berries. Medium body, lively carbonation, quite long finish with no bitterness. Excessively sweet and syrupy, nice appearence, but totally cloying and unpleasant for me.

25cl, from Geers Oostakker, not complex sweet fruit brew, yet refreshing, balanced, hazy, good head, simpel brew
