"I've had De Verboden Vrucht (dutch for Forbidden Fruit) not in it's original glass, so I'm not sure about the appearance. Colour was amber gold with an aroma full of malts and some fruits. Taste is spicey with some alcohol but not much. Not too interesting taste, compared to the aroma. "

[3] Review by vanderla from Sydney, Australia who has tried this beer many times. (9/21/2006 3:40:07 AM)
"Pours a hazy red/brown amber, lots of yeasty chunks, off-white dense head, and a lot of bubbling.
Aromas of musky malt & candy sugar, subtle hops. There is a briney note there also, which would allow this beer to go well with Moules et Frittes.
A bit light on in flavour, for what I was expecting. I think the carbonation deadens the mouth a bit as it fizzes away... I'll give it a swirl to kick up more head, and maybe lose some of the CO2.
With some swirling & warmth, I get a perfumy candy flavour, mostly musk. Maybe I'm getting a bit jaded, but it's seems a bit cliche.... all esters & phenols, not much beyond that...
There is an aftertaste of subtle hoppiness. The bitterness is medium.
Very effervescent, like its stablemates. Maybe too much so, as it tends to detract from the front-palate flavours."

[4] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/3/2006 7:11:20 PM)
"Re-rate, May 05, bottle shared by Robert at SL. Seems to be a different experience than my first, plenty cherry fruitiness over top of a pilsner malt type base: sulfur, grass. Decent brew. Thanks to Robert for another crack at this one. Original Rating: From a bottle at the Dachsbrau House in Krefeld, Germany, listed as a starkbier. Poured a murky brownish color, maybe some orange hues in there, nice intial fluffy head, some sedimentation. Good retention, decent lacing. A pretty beer, aroma full of dark fruits, spicing, and yeast. The flavor followed suit, adding in caramel and then coriander most prominent among the spices, but this one wasn't overspiced. Smooth, lightly bittered finish from the yeast, along with some pepper that came out as it warmed. A nice beer, but not as good as the Grand Cru I had in Belgium."
