The marmite beer - like it or loathe it! I like the cherry flavour and aftertones. Colour and body is all there.

Light brown come red colour, basic beer with cherry flavour, but no real depth

reakt (946) - Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 1, 2007
UPDATED: SEP 2, 2007 cask @ southwark tavern. Clear red w. pink head. Smells like cherry cough drops. Tastes like cherry cough drops. Finish of dried fruits. Very artificial and sickly sweet. Its only redeeming feature is the creamy full body.

scraff (2118) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - MAR 13, 2007
Orangey red, thin white head. Nose held notes of cherry (more like red sweedish fish), light oak, and hints of citrus. Sweet cherry and light oak flavor dominates with no sourness I had hoped for. Light bodied, soft carbonation, fruity finish. Not true to form, but ok I suppose. Thanks for sharing Eyedrinkale...

Stefano (1676) - Esbjerg, DENMARK - MAR 8, 2007
Dark, red coloured with a slim pink head. Nice cherry aroma. Disappointing flavour, cherry, medicinal and wood. The flavour is a bit too subdued for me.

A hard drink to judge. For a fruit beer it is one of the best. Cherry flavor is termemdous. If you are not a beer lover (what?) then this is a great alternative. However it is very sweet and half of a drink is enough for me.

very very sweet, next to no sourness that you get in a good lambic. Tastes like cherry juice, not very nice at all.

Not at all my cup of tea. Smells like putrid cherries. Tastes like putrid cherries with a hint of pickle (don’t ask). Drain Pour.
