Ratman197 (5536) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - SEP 5, 2011
750 ml bottle best by 1989 date poured a clear reddish amber with a lingering ring of ivory foam. Aromas of cherry candy, bread and light barnyard. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a syrupy finish. Flavors of cherry candy, bread and light barnyard with a smooth lingering sweet cherry finish.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - OCT 1, 2008
Served on draft in Japan. Pours a beautiful dark red body with a fuzzy pink head. Very strongly cherry and very sweet. Very drinkable with a dry finish. Slight hint of oak.

duff (5483) - St, Margarets, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 7, 2002
Re rate: still sweet like i remember, i’d like to taste more sourness, nice fruit flavour (Cherry), but to sweet like i said . Original ratings: way too sweet and not enough sour, definitely not up there with the best lambic beers.

Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUL 18, 2007
Bottle. High creamy and pink lasting head. Beautiful clear dark red body. Very sweet cherry aroma. Acidic fresh and nice cherry aroma with a good deal of carbonation and a long aftertaste.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - OCT 7, 2007
Tap @ Popeye’s: Ruby red, light pink head, nose of full fruit and light tartness. Some chewy vanilla and light sweet cherry notes in the tail. Sweet, lacking the choice tart balance that are key in the great lambics.

jerc (5444) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 11, 2003
UPDATED: AUG 11, 2003 Re-rate TFOB 2003 Strong cherry aroma, reminds me of lifesavers. Not super sweet. Still not to my tastes but ok.

Cornfield (5239) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - MAY 5, 2005
UPDATED: SEP 3, 2005 Bottle: This pours a deep ruby red with a tall, well-sustained head. The aroma is sweet cherries and a tartness that stems not from the fruit, but from the wheat. The medium bodied drink has a very fruity taste to it with the tart cherry and mild bitter flavors coming through in the finish. A tasty, fun drink.
