Formerly brewed at Liefmans (Moortgat)
Style: Fruit Beer
Oudenaarde, Belgium

A deep red beer with a pink head. The aroma is artificial with strong notes of marzipan, as well as light notes of cherries. The flavor is very sweet with lots of cherries and marzipan.

(Bottle 25 cl) Deep red - almost Burgundy - clear with a purple head. Very strong - but artifdicial - cherry aroma. Also the flavours are artificial and cloyingly strong cherryish. Weak underlying tartness. Avoid. 231005

Bottled. Deep clear red. Balsamic cherry aroma. Sticky sweet, but at least with a minimal hint of balancing acidity. One dimensional.

25 cL bottle. Pours clear and deep golden imperial red to towards purple, lacing pink head. Dense cherry and mild almond aroma. Flavour is sweet, light citric and solid cherry fruity with both a little bite and mild almond note. Acidic to citric cherry lingering flavour into the finish. I honestly like this one, may be artificial but in a good way.

Bottle. Clear dark red color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, pink to red head. Aroma is moderate cherry sweet maybe a little like cherry juice. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (270907)

Bottle, 3.5%. Sweet marcipan aroma. Nice, dark, deep red colour. OK dark pink head. Quite sweet flavour, but it could be worse. Cherry, softdrink-like flavour. Has a little sourness to balance.

Bottled. Dark red, foamy reddish head. Cherry aroma, a bit like Lindemans Kriek. Pleasant flavour of cherry with some citric and earthy notes. It took a while to get used to the "differency" in this one, but once I took some more sips I began liking it more and more.

Bottle. Red colour with a big pink head. Cherry marzipan aroma and a very sweet cherry marzipan taste. Light body and a sweet finish.
