Love it. Cherries make this more sweeter than the framboise. If you wanna pick up a chick who doesn’t like beer, buy this for them, they’ll fall in love with you!

Valentine’s day and something special for my 300th review from my better half. Poured into a thin tulip it shows a light brandy-sherry color. 3 finger pink tinted meringue head. Wonderful nose: fruity, medicinal, slightly musty with a wisp of treacle. Slick mouthfeel dominance of fruit but there is a subtle but constant undertone of horse blanket layered with spice, earth...finish is wet, sour, musty with fruit over tones. Wonderfully layered between sweet-sour-bitter-musty. Wonderful stuff. I like it so kill me.

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

Bottle in Tallin. The ability to make a beer so incredibly sweet and rich but yet still enjoyable must be applauded. Good show chaps.

A hard drink to judge. For a fruit beer it is one of the best. Cherry flavor is termemdous. If you are not a beer lover (what?) then this is a great alternative. However it is very sweet and half of a drink is enough for me.

On tap. Strong dark red colour with a soft blanket of foam that laces the glass. Trat bitter aroma is surprisingly pleasant, as is the flavour. Strong lingering cherry aftertaste.
