Wittekerke Rosé / Rosarda

Brewed by Bavik-De Brabandere
Style: Fruit Beer
Harelbeke, Belgium

Hazed pink pour with a fizzy white cap. Nose of raspberry and candy, some perfume. Very sweet raspberry flavour seems fake and is accompanied with a bit of tartness and yeasty candies. Fizzy quick finish. Overly sweet for me.

At albert heijn in zaandam, bottle 250ml, pink, full no lasting head, some raspberry there, little yeast and hopbitter, sweets, fresh but boring.

250 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a murky pinkish gold with quickly disappearing white head. Candyish raspberry aroma. Sweet raspberry taste. Refreshing and falvourful, but you’d be forgiven for thinking you weren’t drinking beer. Not terrible but probably wouldn’t have this again.

250 ml bottle from the LCBO. bottle conditioned which was a suprise. pours pink with a lasting white head. spitzy. aroma of tart raspberry juice. flavour of sweet raspberry juice. the aspertane reduces the palatte score. its like a low cal raspberry cocktail. i like it as a summer lunch beverage but its not really a beer.

Pours a cloudy orange-gold with a frothy white head that collapses to a thin skin. The aroma smells like a saccharine-sweet raspberry diet soda with just a touch of citrus and spice hiding WAY in the back (like beer hiding in the back of the nose on a shandy/cyclist). Light-bodied and tart it has a very drying finish. The flavor tastes like an artificially sweetened framboise spritzer. If you want a tart raspberry soda, here it is.

Canned, and by far the gayest presentation I’ve seen.. BB 11/15/09. Poured pink-tinged peach with, well, a pinkish-tinged off-white head.. cloudy complexion. The aroma picked up fresh, tart raspberry seeds and spicy wheat over some raspberry meat.. dusty Belgian yeast laced through there. The flavor was centered around tart, fresh raspberries and wheat, with a dry, grainy character at the core.. finished tangy and refreshing. Light-bodied and well-balanced on the palate, but the mouthfeel was lacking at times.. slightly cardboardey about 3/4 of the way through and a hair watery at times. As it warmed up, artificial sweetener emerged (think Aspartame), but this brew was already scored, and I had no real problems with it cold.

This is bad... I only bought it because I found it interesting that it was in 6 packs of Red Bull style cans... and it’s terrible. Tastes artificial, thin, and the predominant flavor is... is... disgust?

Tap at The Wharf, Aalborg. Red pink color, lovely white head. Aroma is fruit and berries, but also some malt. Flavor is raspberry, fruit, lots of sweetness that goes well with the high carbonation. A very special beer, and I understand that some peaple hate it, but I find it very refreshing, and mus admit that I drank this beer with a smile...
