Bottled. Pours a magnificent red color leading into such a full aroma of cherries its almost like candy. At first touch of the palate the flavor is almost too much cherry, but the malt brings a smoother finish to the taste. Definitely a brew to enjoy every once in a while...too much is too sweet!

Bottle, Smells like lindemans cough drops, some tartness, not very big in the way of cherry, perhaps some light malts, a bit tart. An ok fruit beer and a bad cherry one at that.

Bottle at firewaters...black wisniak cherry soda scent and or cherry cough drops...the color is of cranberry juice...tastes like a jolly rancher, minus the sour, and plus some tartness...simple yet surprisingly creamy in the body

A delicious blood cherry drink with a nice pink head. Nose is sweet and infused with cherries and the taste is tart and tantalizing... did I mention CHERRIES?

Deep red color with a light pink head. Aroma and taste absolutely delightful. Reminded me of cherry coughdrops.

Pours a dark red, with a thin pinkish-white head. The aroma is, well, Ludens Wild Cherry Cough Drops. Not that that's a bad thing, though. It's sweet, sour, and refreshing. A tad bit artificial. I find this to be a very enjoyable beer. This beer makes me want to lick my lips.

Bottle. Pours deep ruby with almost no head and very little carbonation. Nose is strong red cherry with a malty background. The flavor is intense cherry, mild musty malt, and very sweet, finishing with moderate sourness and a cherry aftertaste. Too sweet and medicinal. Still, worth the bottle price.

this beer has a strange aroma, similar to cherry drop sweets I had as a kid, cherryade like appearance, very sweet cherryade flavour, it is not clear that this is an alcoholic drink as it tastes and feels like a soft drink, however it is certainly very flavoursome and interesting.
