Deep ruby red body, small pink head. When you drink it there are bags of cherries, a sherbert sweetness, combined with the seasoned oak dryness of a sour ale. I got two hits of fruit: a jammy, sweet flavour and a more tart taste that cuts through. I really liked it; its better than the raspberry version.

Deep red, small brief head. Sultry cherry aroma, a slight bitter edge. Fairly sweet and pleasant malty body. Decent sweet fruity taste, mostly cherry, but verging on almond in places - seems like real fruit rather than just juice added. Quite gutsy, and I thought it was quite pleasant.

Jun 8, 2008 Bottle at Aikmans, St Andrews. Deep red ale with a pink thin head Nose is sweet and flat with lots of glace cherries. Mouth actually has some punch to it - there’s the sweet glace cherries to start with, then some disjointed sourness, then the two seem to come together. There’s some dishwater and fizzy sweet and maybe a touch of pink lemonade. It’s alright, but it’s not the best.
