Bottled(250ml). -Pale ruby coloured, medium sized pale pink head, sweet cherry nose. Sourish sweet cherry aroma with mild wheaty notes. Like cherry and pistachio nut ice cream finish.

bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, pink colored pour with pink foam, aroma and flavor of cherry, marzipan and malty crust, sour cherry finish, not cloying or overly sweet

(25cl bottle) Pours a ruby body with a small pinkish off-white head. Aroma of cherries, almonds, light plastic, and sugar. Flavor of cherries, sugar, and almonds. Too sweet, but to be expected.

25cl bottle thanks to bu11zeye) Pour is red with no head..nose is strawberry cough syrup, raspberry , apple...Taste is red fruits, sour, bitter apple..palate is dry, tang,bitter..Not a bad fruit beer

(25cl bottle thanks to bu11zeye) clear medium red, ring of light tan pink bubbles. Nose of sweet saccharin cherry syrup smell, sugar, nothing else. Taste of cherries, lightly tart, some sweetness but not bad, balanced a bit, medium carbonation and quite refreshing. Reminds me of a good cherry soda.

Bottle, bought @ Beer Planet, Brussels.
Deep, wonderful red with a firm, staying, frothy, pink head. Aroma has sweet cherries, some marzipan and light sugar. High to medium carbonation, quite watery palate. Flavours are inoffensive, sweet, good cherries, some citric tartness but not much (and it feels added). Mild, sweet and rather dull. Still drinkable, though.

(draught 0,25l) Strong cherry, but too artificial aroma. Dark red-pink color. Medium pink head. Medium sweet, medium sour. Cherry and raspberry taste. Sour finish. Too much sourness.

Bottle. Red colour with a pink head. Aroma is cherry, almond. Flavour is sweet, cherry, almond, malt, sugar. Medium body. OK beer.

Deep red. Pink head. Very sweet! Lot´s of strawberries! Yeh, that´s it.

Bottle. A clear, dark ruby beer topped by a sexy but rapidly disappearing, dense, pink head. Lacings are left though. Lots of almond on the nose, overpowering the sweetish cherry. Some beery notes in the back, unflavored beer that is. Sweet, cherry flavor without the almond dominating as in the aroma. Even though it’s a sweet one, it’s quite dry on the palate, and in the finish. Cherries and some unflavored beer in the end. A quite decent one, but not my prefered style by any means. 100424
