I poured this from a 25cl bottle. The head presentation is great with a finger thick head, which has a pinkish tint to it. Retention lasts quite a good spell. The body is ruby red and complements the name of this brew.

Aroma qualities are grape, melon, and slightly cherry.

The taste is at first by a sour cherry flavor that gives way to a melon and cherry mix.

The texture of this brew is foamy and less soda pop like. I can tell this is has a good malt presence, as opposed to relying on sugary syrup to dish out the alcohol.

Out of the two Belgian fruit based beverages I've had, I'd have to say this is the best thus so far.

750 ml bottle, from BilkaToGo, Skalborg. ABV is 5.0%. Clear pink to red colour, huge off-white head. Aroma of artificial "red fruits" candy. Sweet flavour, artificial "red fruits" galore, some malts and hops in the background. Waste of money.

Pours hazy marron with bright white fickle half inch foam. Smells apple jam and citrus. Very sweet. Tastes honey, marmelade, mineral. Decent carbonation, light mouthfeel, sweet aftertaste. Best served chilled, I recommend trying with sponge cake, madeleine, or green grapes.

Poured from the 330ml bottle into a wine glass in Kigali, Rwanda. The beer is a clear red colour with a slight orange tint to it. Head is foamy, off-white, and almost leaps out of the glass, growing to over 3 fingers quickly and Laing clumps along the glass.

Smell: Tart and sweet like sour gummy worms. Sugary cherries and strawberries throughout. Bubble gum. Lemon drops. Real candy aroma.

Taste: a bit more subdued than the aroma, but still full of sugary sweetness. Strawberry gummies, a hint of cherry juice and raspberry somewhere. Lemon flavoring. This thing is all over the place, but somehow not terrible.

Overall: If you are craving candy, this drink is for you. Weird but not bad at all.

A really nice red sparkling look, with a fruity smell. It tastes more like a cider than a beer, not sweet though and refreshing.

My least favourite of the Leffe brand. Strange taste,reminds me of Turkish Delight. Roses,Violets,Strawberry,Cherry. Not too sweet. Would be ok on a hot day I suppose.
