Pleasant aroma with some cherry in there, reddish amber in color. Syrupy sour cherry flavour. A touch of dryness although the sweetness is rather sugary. It started off ok but the more I had the less I liked it.

UPDATED: AUG 11, 2005 (on bottle) These dry, fruit beers tend to be odd for the averege beer-lover; me. But having this, deep ruby brew with a short-lasting pink head, to a sweet(very sweet)desert, actually was a good experience. A bit artificial, metallic aftertaste, though.
RERATED: More experienced now, but it´s still a very sweet beer, candy if you like.

Bottle corked and caged. Very attractive pour. Brown/red with a thick foamy head, like champagne. Nose smells like malty cherry cough syrup. The taste is tart, malty, sweet, and has a carbo bite that flattens out quickly. There are also secondary notes of plums, black licorice, and vinegar. The vinegar note is very sharp and off putting. The cherry flavor is not overdone. It hides in the background very well. The finish is a little too sharp and acidic. Overall, this isn’t bad, but there are much better out there.

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2008 Pleasant aroma of cherries. The cherry flavor goes from tart to sweet. A macrobrewery (InBev) version of the style, a bit bland and ordinary.

Pours a nice red with a relatively large head. Cherry (syrup), some tartness and sugar predominate. Is this a beer? Too much of a soft drink for me.

Tasted 04/06/2005. 330ml bottle Regional’s, Wellington.
Pale, fizzy, reddish-hue a big light pink head. Sweet aroma that is like ripe cherries and champagne. Light mouthfeel. Dry sweet flavour up front without the tartness of the Framboise (and again this is more like like champagne than your average beer). Little noticeable hop or malt influence left from what must be a pretty hungry yeast.

Pours a dark coppery red, with a frothy pink head. Aroma is of faint glazed cherries and some sweet malts. The flavour is not overly sweet, but the sourness tastes a little weird and artificial. I like the amount of cherry though. The finish is quite metallic and astringent, like you have just eaten something artificial. At the end I feel like it just needs some more of something, but I guess that’s InBev for you.
