Wittekerke Rosé / Rosarda

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

Gatorade pop pink beer with a thin white head. Sharp raspberry concentrate, almost like crystals. Horrible chemical taste, way too sweet. Barely cant taste anything else. Blahhh! Bought at Metro, Brussels, late april 2005.

This comes in tiny cans - like Red Bull cans. The little hole in the top helps give this an agressive pour and results in a fairly decent head on top of the strawberry peach body; good lacing too. Aroma is sweet sweetened raspberries. Thin body. Tart and citrusy sweet tart raspberry fruit sugar taste. Weird aftertaste - OH MY GOSH - Aspertame!?!?!? - what the..... ICK. I hate artificial sweeteners! ICK! I was actually starting to enjoy this until that tell-tale taste hit my tongue.

wow. the aroma says sweet candy, the color says koolaid, the flavor says popsicle, and the whole thing says drain pour.

pink/reddish beer, no head to speak off. raspberry and blackberries aroma(like cassis). tastes sweet(very), raspberries, some bitterness(aspartaam?), a bit tart. not that bad! i expected the worst. it is drinkable...but i don’t care much for fake sweetness!!

The Fruity Pink! Thanks JPDipso! (Recently found) Pours a dark red almost pink color, small white head. Flavor is like a raspberry soda, no alcohol, no charachter. Fruity Pink.

A raspberry white in a can? Hmm... interesting. What’s this? They actually admit to using artificial sweeteners and flavors? Now I’m getting worried. Better pour... Pours a cloudy pink with a creamy white head. Nice aroma of acidic raspberries, almost lambic-like. Taste is raspberries, aspartame, and dry toffee. Adding the sweetener to this beer was a HUGE mistake, in my opinion. Turns this beer into the bastard child of beer and "malternatives". However, looking past the sweetener, there’s not a whole lot of incredible flavor here anyways. So looking at the pink can, the figure on the can, and the overall advertising, this is Belgium’s adaptation of Smirnoff Ice. The ultimate chick beer. "The Fruity Pink"?!? That pretty much says it all, and that’s just what I’d probably call any guy I caught drinking this for pleasure. I’ll stick to something with hops intead of aspartame.

Pours pink grapefruit juice with a minimal white head (some stray bubbles). Nose of lemon, wheat, cranberry, and raspberries. Quite tart but mostly sweet. It’s 10% of "the purest raspberry fruit" what the hell does that mean. I’ll kill myself if they didn’t 100% of the purest aspartame. Tinny sweet "alco-pop" Although it deserves somewhere in the low 1’s for being an abomination, it does have some qualities that carry this limping corpse of a beer.

Bottle. Too much rasberry flavoured fairy floss, candy sugar. Syruppy rasberry cordial, too sweet.
