2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Ruby-red, cloudy bottle with a pink, medium-thick head. Smells deliciously of cherries, acid and sugars. Tasty, though watery compared to other examples I’ve had of this style. Of course cherries dominate the palate with a good bit of sweet/sour working the palate. Not bad, not great, really more of a macrobrewed dessert beer. Sampled on tap in Toronto, CA

Bottle - Dark read with a thick foamy pink head. Aroma is sweet cherry. The taste is sweet and sour cherry, but not much around this. This one is not for me but it is OK for the style.

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.

Bottled. What beer!! Totally different! :)
Wine color, amazing huge and fluffy pink foamy. Aroma is like some cherry candy and no chances to say that is a beer by his aroma! Flavor is like a cherry cider. Mouthfeel is like a cherry candy with a little bit note of hop!
Português: Cerveja totalmente diferente do que eu já tinha experimentado :). Cor de vinho com uma espuma rosada, enorme e maravilhosa além de persistente. Aroma é como uma bala de cereja, sem chances de dizer que é uma cerveja através do aroma. Sabor de cidra de cerja, retrogosto de bala de cereja com uma nota bem pouquinha de lúpulo nop final.

Ruby tinged brown. Pink hued creamy white head. Black cherries soaked in oak aroma. Full, sourish and loaded with dark cherry flavor. Less sweet than expected and actually more beer tasting than most fruit Lambics I’ve had, but I’m far from an expert or lover or casual drinker or (you get the point). Finishes watery, less fruity, but still tart and woody. I actually liked this more than my wife did. Too close to beer for her.

Dark red with a large, but not heavy pink head. Nice balance, more acidity than sweetness which makes for a refreshing drink.

Pours a dark brownish red witha nice head and great lace. Aroma of sour and sweet cherries, very pleasant. Flavour initially rather sour - more like a Flemish Sour Ale - then tapering to a nice dark cherry/yeasty aftertaste. Some bitter notes which don’t quite seem to fit... are they hops, or off-flavours? Thin, puckered body with a warming aftertaste. This is a compelling beer, but the bittering hops seem to clash with the cherries. Very drinkable, but easily improved upon.
