Brasserie d'Achouffe built its reputation on La Chouffe, the gnome-branded Belgian blonde that's been a fixture since the 1980s. The Cherry 0.0 is the latest addition to the brewery's expanding AF line, bringing the flavour profile of their full-strength Cherry Chouffe — an 8% fruit beer brewed with sour Morello cherries — down to zero alcohol. Launched in the UK in 2025, it's the first time the cherry variant has appeared without the ABV attached. In the glass it pours a deep ruby red, darker than you'd expect from a fruit beer, with a bright white head. The nose leads with sour cherry — properly tart, not the synthetic sweetness of cherry flavouring — alongside softer notes of strawberry and a faint almond quality that's characteristic of Morello-forward beers. There's a hint of spice in the background that ties it to the wider Chouffe house style. On the palate it's fruit-forward without being cloying, the cherry bitterness doing the work that hops might in a conventional AF beer. The mouthfeel is fuller than the blonde version, and the finish is rounded rather than sharp. It doesn't quite have the complexity of the alcoholic original — the almond note fades quickly — but among AF fruit beers it stands clearly apart from the usual artificially-sweetened crowd.
