highlandlad (1319) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - JAN 18, 2005
Colour of muddy shiraz and pours with a big Creamola Foam head. Sour cherries and cloves in the aroma. Smooth-bodied and sweet at the front and middle, with a big sour cherry finish. Thinner than most lambics. It has a poppy, lemonade-like texture. Some alcoholic strength in the middle but little depth. An easy drinker, sweet but a tad bland. (Bottle)

If i were just to go on taste and not the fact that its supposed ot be beer, ide say its excellent, but ide much rather have a real beer.

Sampled from can at Belgian Embassy in DC. Pours a dark red with a pink head. Aroma is cherry. Flavor is sweet, cherry with a touch of tart cherries. It’s good, but I can imagine that it would be impossible to drink more than one at a sitting.

Bottle. Berry aroma, apple taste with a dry sherry finish. Dark red colour, lovely foam. A bit artificial, though.

detroitsteel (235) - Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 16, 2006
On draught. Very yeasty aroma that I found a little off-putting. Looked good in the glass - a nice deep, translucent pink with a thick long lasting head. Very sweet and not particularly complex, but with a underlying sharpness and good cherry fruit. A little cherryade-ish, but the underlying tartness make it a very enjoyable drink.
