Red color with a quite lasting pink head. Had this after driving from Copenhagen to Brussels, and I think I deserved better after all those miles. Had a quite weak aroma. Sour/sourish flavor and alot less fruity than expected. Thin.

In general I don’t like non-beer flavours, however this was quite drinkable. It looked like a coke with a frothy pale pink head, but the aroma was attractive. I found the taste quite complex: there was fruity sourness and sweetness with just a hint of bitterness in the background.

Hovering in between sweet and dry. Cherries are well presented, but rather lifeless in other aspects including carbonation. After developing an appreciation for the sourness and "funk" found in others it’s harder to get excited about this one. Not a thing really bad about in the least - if that makes sense.

2002: Pour is mahoghany with a thin white head...smell is funky with sourness and nice warm cherry...taste is not nearly so sour as the smell...lifeless and sweet cherry...bland and mediocre at best...

Sten (396) - Westerlo, BELGIUM - JUL 25, 2005
A dark red colour with a small red-white head. Sweet and sour taste. If you are more into sour trie the 37.5cl corked bottle, the 25cl bottle is sweeter. (Bottle 25cl, corked bottle 37.5cl)

SDbruboy (1857) - San Diego, California, USA - JUL 24, 2005
Bottle, purchased in convenience store in Brussels! Dark, clear red with amber tinges and a foamy pinkish beige head. Dominant cherry aroma and sweet like a cherry cream candy. Sweet cherry malt flavors with some spiciness and hints of hoppiness in the finish. Smooth, creamy body. Underwhelming.

bu11zeye (9614) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - JUL 20, 2005
(Bottle) Pours a ruby body with a moderate white head. Aroma of black cherries and a slight notes of wood and chocolate. Flavor of cherry cough lozenges and malt.

pivnizub (7022) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - JUL 12, 2005
Bottle: Reddish amber coloured, huge reddish-white head, lasting; sourish-fruity (cherries, no doubt, almonds) nose, only very little "horse-blanket", or "wet-dog" (?) in the background; cherry-dominated beginning, light sourish flavour, moderate fruity aftertaste, short lasting. Not too sweet, quaffable, but nothing worth a detour.......
