Pours a dark red color with a light pink color head that quickly go down. (therefor artificial flavors).
Aroma are sweet and fruity, but somewhat an artificial aroma. Flavors are sweet and fruity, with a hint of oak flavor. Light to drink but too sweet and the taste of chery sirup is present.
The 37.5cl cork bottle is better.

| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Appearance: Transparent cherry with a fake-looking (but pretty) pink head.
Aroma: Chemically synthesized raspberry/cherry syrup flavoring
Flavor: Chemically synthesized raspberry and raspberry candy.
Comment: Could add a glowing, green radioactive die, as done to the 3-eyed mutant fish that live downstream from the nuclear power plant in Simpsons. There needs to be some clear warning to scare away those tempted by the appearance, though the pink foam should be scary enough. It will be challenging to find a worse beer. davidm (205), Melbourne, Australia
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Tap. This style is way too sweet for me. Aroma is just cherries, which I like. Flavour is just sweet, with no balance. Medium body in the palate, with an oily texture. Red colour, fizzy, with a thin, long-lasting head.

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Draught at Beer Belly. Bright candy red color. Aroma of sweet fake cherries and biscuits; sour fruits. Sweet, raspberry flavor, dull, with a rather dry and bitter finish and some bitter fink at the end but not a lambic funk. More raspberry than cherry, with cardboard and ass. Unpleasant and fake. rosenbergh (1000), Helsinki, Finland
