Bête Rouge is a cherry fruit beer from Micro Brasserie La Bête à Biere in France, weighing in at 8% ABV with surprising depth. Dark cherry juice dominates the aroma, layered with a assertive hop bitterness that prevents the fruit from becoming cloying. The palate delivers concentrated cherry character alongside a pleasant acidity and hop bite, creating a balanced and complex flavour profile.

The finish carries a subtle tartness that enhances drinkability and leaves a clean, refreshing impression. This is a fruit beer that avoids simple sweetness, instead building its character on the interplay between cherry fruit, hop bitterness, and fermentation complexity.
