12 oz. bottle; thanks to deyholla for the trade; light rosy orange with spotty white head; light, creamy cherries and a little poopy sourness; zesty mouthfeel with sour cherries, lemons, creamy wheat; level of fruit here is really tasty and this is a great, easy drinking sour fruit beer; creamy bread, lemons, cherries; tart dessert and cream; yummy

Bottle from Hoppymeal, thanks! Pink color, cloudy. Cherry and marzipan in the almost vinous aroma. Cherry and cherry pits in the alcoholic flavor. Thin. Strange beer, in which the cherry dominates. Nice beer, though..

A decent offering, well worth the money and i’d possibly get it again. Just didn’t knock my socks off. It was very interesting, a style i had never had before. could have been much more sour, but at least you could still taste the base style. cool beer, worth trying.

sweet pie cherry aroma, borders on cough syrup. strong carbonation nose. sweet tart interplay comes across more like a jolly rancher.

UPDATED: JAN 2, 2012 This rating is from the very first bottlings of this beer, it was a 12oz, unlabeled bottle. Light amber body with no head. Sour pie cherry nose, some caramel, dusty and cobwebby yeast. Lightly sweet and lightly sour taste, cherry, plum skins and caramel. Medium body is soft with light carbonation. Nice.

Murky pink with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla, toast, wild yeast, cherry, leather, spices, and light alcohol. Taste of cherry pits, skins, a bit of sweetness, and sour finish.

A really enjoyable beer. Nose is full of cherries, oak notes, lactic tartness, a touch of funk and light boozy notes. Pours reddish pink with not much head or lace. Awesome cherry flavors throughout, medium sourness, oak barrel notes, lactic notes and some funky stuff, more cherries. Light tripel base beer is noticeable at times with a hint of sweetness. Nice sharp carbonation. Super easy to drink for the style. This was extremely solid IMO.

12oz bottle. Beautiful pour, orange-ish pink with a small off pink head. Nice nose of semi tart cherries, and some Belgian yeast. Nice sweet and semi tart cherry flavors with some faint citrus. Medium dense on the palate, damn tasty!

Poured a hazy copper color with an almost white head. Tart cherry aroma with some sweetness. Tart and sweet fruity flavor. Nothing too complex but not bad.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnacy. The loook is clear, light reddish color, with a light fizzy white head. The smell is sour, tart, cherry, acidic, nail polish. The taste is spurish, cherry, missing some complexity.
