fruitesse on the rocks 0,0 - alkoholfreies fruitbeer

With its fruit-focused brewing tradition, the Belgian brewery Liefmans holds a special place in the international beer landscape. Fruit beers have always been a staple in Belgium (and a few other countries) – the rest of the world only knows them because the craft beer movement has brought Belgian beer global attention. A favorite among Liefmans’ selection is Fruitesse , an aperitif flavored with a variety of red berries and cherries. This creation, inspired by the classic Kriek, tastes best when served on ice, which is why the instruction "on the rocks" is printed directly on the bottle.

Because the fruit-infused drink was so popular, the brewery recently launched an alcohol-free version. Fruitesse 0.0 delivers the full bouquet of freshly harvested berries and ripe cherries, but without any alcohol.

The non-alcoholic Fruitesse boasts an intense ruby red color reminiscent of sweet Morello cherries. Lively bubbles of carbonation rise to form a delicate, rosy head. Even the aroma hints at the summery diversity hidden within: flavors of strawberries, raspberries, cherries, elderberries, and blueberries blend into a summery symphony.

The taste is vibrant, feather-light, and revolves entirely around summer fruits. Berries, cherries, harmonious sweetness, and a subtle acidity lend a wonderful balance to the berry fruit explosion.
