Battin Fruitée
Brasserie Battin

From the bottle, it pours a clear rose color with a large light pink head that slowly recedes. In the nose, it is sweetish and maraschino cherry like. In the mouth, it is cherry candy sweet. I suspect my wife will love this.

 

330ml bottle served in its own flute like glass.

A: Pours a dark red slightly cloudy color gorming a big pinkish, bubbled, soapy and a bit molasses head. Medium to low retention and lots of lingering and soapy lacings left in the glass

S: Very syrupy and artificial in the nose. Sweet, fruity and terrible

T: Extremely sweet and syrupy upfront. Very artificial and too sweet. Fruity. Tastes like cherry syrup for kids. Terrible

M: Light and molasses body. Sweet and syrupy aftertaste

O: Very low drinkability. I was expecting a terrible beer but it is much worst than I thought. Drain pour

The nose is reminiscent of the excessively sweet and fruity which portends more. Then we witness the power of fruit syrup in the body where the taste of beer is completely masked by the addition of glucose. There remains a finish where a little bitterness is present but ultimately it is too unattractive to meet the qualities of this candy juice.

The beer poured a slight bubbley pink head and had a redish pink body with good carbonation. There are some nice cherry notes on the nose, a bit earthy as well. The taste starts out slightly sweet and a bit of sour from the cherry flavor but it tastes just like that, flavoring. The body is rather light and the beer is drinkable but not really indicative of what a true Belgian fruit beer should taste like.
