Fruity or otherwise flavoured beers (See also Fruity Lambics)

Watch this space - descriptions and more interesting (maybe) stuff coming once I've finished taking and uploading more photos.

This is an interesting category. Some of the more straight-down-the-line types out there might consider this category "girly beers", or perhaps, not even beers at all.

In Belgium, however, there don't seem to be many laws governing what can be put into a beer before, during or after it is brewed. As a consequence, you will encounter all manner of wierdness when you walk down the beer aisle in most supermarkets. You will find proof on these pages in the form of beers we've already tasted that contain substances as diverse as aniseed, mustard, coriander, ginseng, honey, curaçao, vitamin B, nearly every spice and most fruits/berries known to man

For me, it is difficult to judge when a beer stops being it's original beer type (blonde, brown, pale, amber, wheat, etc) and instead belongs in this category. It is made even more difficult by the strangely Belgian concept of Lambics and Gueuze, which are "naturally fermented" beers, that generally taste so bad in and of themselves that they need to have fruity flavours added to make them palatable.

Generally though, you'll find here only non-lambic beers that are principally marketed as their flavour, not their original type. Flavoured lambics, krieks etc are in the lambics section.


Witterkerke Rosé (4.3%) A fruity wheat beer for the kiddies.


Super des Fagnes Griottes (4.8%)

So what do you do if you're addicted to that awful, artificial cherry-flavoured cough syrup, but you just aren't feeling sick? Well, you crack open one of these babies and suck it on down.

Bon Secours Framboise (7%) Raspberry
