330ml bottle from Struise Brewery shop Bruges. Pours pink with a light mist, large bubble bath head. Aroma has lightly sweet raapberries. Taste is crisp with a light lactic sour character, spritzy carbonation, light raspberry presence. Could do with more fruit really, a touch thin.

Andy De Wilde is working on a whole string of fruit and vegetable beers now and this is one of them, made with wheat and raspberries (though strangely, the latter have been forgotten in the ingredients list on the label). Nicely ’papery’ lacing, thick and sticky, snow white, moussy head with good retention, over a beautifully pinkish-tinged, deep and warm ruddy amber coloured, initially cristal clear beer, more deeply fuchsia and hazy with sediment. Aroma of fresh red raspberries and raspberry jam, honey, sweet cherry tomatoes, soap, raw rhubarb, redcurrant, sweet and freshly cut red apples, raspberry and lemon cookies, caramel candy, bread crumbs. Fruity, spritzy onset, a bit soda-like even in general feel - but not nearly as sweet, with sweetness seemingly coming mostly from the actual raspberries and paired with a mild sourness also from the fruit; beneath linger subtler impressions of apple, banana and apricot enhancing the ’fructose sweetness’. Sharp and very fizzy, minerally carbonation on the other hand accentuates the sour effect but it is still the sweetness which prevails. Light, supple, bit soapy mouthfeel, soapy wheat underneath and very clearly so, with a light touch of bready barley; meanwhile the light, delicate, refinedly sweet raspberry flavour continues all the way to a more dryish finish, no cloying residual sugariness here though the fructose does linger; a vague earthy touch echoes the presence of hops and even delivers a very subtle end bitterness, providing an important structural element. The soapiness also remains behind and, like in some other of Préaris’ new fruit and vegetable creations, is a bit too emphatic for me. Elegant little fruit beer though: feels honest and genuine, with that typical sweet tomato-like accent betraying the use of actual raspberries (juice in this case, no doubt) and an almost frail, delicate profile, sweet but not in an ’added’ sugary way and matched with a light malt body. Reminds me a bit of old school ’krieks’ based on Belgian ales but in a cleaner manner, and with raspberries replacing the cherries. Not my preferred style of beer personally, but within its concept, this is clearly very cleverly made.

26/V/17 - 33cl bottle from the brewer @ pre-BBQ tasting, home - BB: 5/I/18 (2017-641)
Clear bright reddish pink beer, big creamy light pink head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very fruity, lots of raspberry candy, sweet and sugary impression, bit yeasty. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: little sourish, some raspberry, not much flavour-wise though, it's mainly aromatic raspberries, bit lemony. Aftertaste: metallic, bitter touch, some raspberry. Decent beer.

At Bruges Beer Fest 2017. Pours clear red with a light pink head that leaves lacing. The aroma contains raspberry, wheat and dough. It tastes medium to light sweet, very light bitter and medium sour. Dry and wheat-like on the tongue, long finish, fizzy carbonation.

330 ml. bottle split with kraddel @ train post-Bruges Beer Festival 2017. BBF 05.01.2018. Looks nice dark red pink raspberry, vaguely pink head. Nose is sadly heavily metallic, low sugar, raspberry feels sugary & fake. Body ruins all taste, extremely over-carbonated. Taste is stale yeast upfront, metallic, artificial bitter, fruit is barely there, washing powder, whatever raspberry is there feels fake. Bit of a waste of fruit really. Sorry, I wanted to like but this is a miss & I don’t see many beer geeks liking, maybe the more casual beer drinker can appreciate this, fruit doesn’t feel real, carbonation makes it feel empty, it is metallic. Not sure what this was meant to be, real fruit sweet beer?
