eek! Horribly sweet with nowhere near enough sour compensation at the end.

harrisoni (10069) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - MAR 20, 2009
From a can from an all night shop in Antwerp shared in my hotel room with Mesandsim. Orangey red colour. Considerably worse than the Chapeau we had at the festival earlier. Really bad. Artificial fruit aroma, mouthfeel is awful. Finish has more bad fruit.

Beer3000 (3096) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - FEB 7, 2007
250ml bottle. Clear red body with a rather thick, pink head. A sweet fruit juice aroma, not to strong. Flavor is dominating sweet, confectionary cherry and a small dose of acid. Not completely bad, actually drinkable in small amounts if you’re into the world of sweets. One bottle is big enough.

Goodeone (39) - Mississauga, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 23, 2007
Not at all my cup of tea. Smells like putrid cherries. Tastes like putrid cherries with a hint of pickle (don’t ask). Drain Pour.

ClubGonzo (1950) - Bergen, NORWAY - SEP 14, 2010
Bottle @ some cafe in Brussels. Pours a beautiful hazy pink body with a large light-hued pink head. Aroma is artificial cherry extracts and massive amounts of sugar. Taste is exactly what the aroma promised. This beer may look good, but it tastes pretty awful.

Wombata (210) - Kobe, JAPAN - OCT 4, 2009
Appearance: Transparent cherry with a fake-looking (but pretty) pink head. Aroma: Chemically synthesized raspberry/cherry syrup flavoring Flavor: Chemically synthesized raspberry and raspberry candy. Comment: Could add a glowing, green radioactive die, as done to the 3-eyed mutant fish that live downstream from the nuclear power plant in Simpsons. There needs to be some clear warning to scare away those tempted by the appearance, though the pink foam should be scary enough. It will be challenging to find a worse beer.

Cartoonkhaki (1177) - Brantford, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 19, 2002
Tasted like metal! Aluminum aftertaste. It it wasn’t for the cherry smell this would be smelling really skunky. The only thing this had going for it was that it looked good. What a horrible aftertaste... I think I’m going to dump it. bleahh.
