Bottled. Redish with a light-pink head. Aroma from hops and cherries. Sweet and somewhat vinous flavour with some notes of berries.

Pure horrible skunk upon opening. I tried to look past it for this rating and pretend it wasn’t there. Beautiful red color with a beige head. Tastes sweet like candy made with brown sugar. It actual has the flavor/consistency of a cordial. The stench of skunk knocked this down an entire point overall.

Reddish with no foam head. Doesn't smell fruity, more malty. Taste has some corn, and bit bitter. (Rome 201205) ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

floral, cereal, cooked vegetables, smoke, red, cloudy, minimal head, heavy cloying sweetness, lightly bitter, medium sourness, medium body, sticky, soft carbonation,

Red beer, small white head. Smell is an unpleasant mix of fruits, yeast and malts. The taste is slightly better, better moderated, and the bitter hops gets trough inside a bit harder, with a decent dryness at the end, but the unpleasant sweetness ruins it a bit.

Pours transparent and light red, almost amber. Small white head. Nose is malty, fruity, no bitter hops to be found. Taste is sweet throughout, needs better balance. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean.

Tn tap, clear red beer with moderate off-white head with good lacing. Sweet fruity nose. Taste is extremely sweet. Aroma of cherry, syrupy fruits, caramel and sugar. there’s a pleasing bitterness in the finish. High carbonation, light body and overall soft texture. Way too sweet and syrupy, strange. Not terrible considering the brand.

330ml clear bottle. Pours out red, clear. large foamy head that is whitish with a tinge of pink. Must be from the "fruit juice". Lots of lace. Rough malty aroma, very grainy, a little sweetness can be found through deep sniffs. Taste has carmel malt, sweet ,faint berry fruits, not much bitterness. Finish has dry graininess. Light body, dull carboantion. Overall, this was not enjoyable. And having this classed as a vienna might be confusing me further. The unidentified fruit juice added contributes little beyond colour. Not sure what they were trying to do here.

Clear bottle, allowing you to see the bright red colour of this beer before it is even poured, so no excuses-- you know what you’re in for! Aroma is fucking aweful-- eggy fart and pot-roast dishwater. Give it about 10 minutes and a little sweet fruit syrup can be teased out, but the dirty dishwater scent never leaves center stage. Flavour is equally appalling. Harsh grainy backbone with grenadine nuances, again sulphurous undertones, sharp metallic finish. Fuck me this was aweful. Like a poor man’s Freaktoberfest without the added bitterness. Rockley says it deserves at least a point for being a liquid; that’s because he was in a generous mood.

330ml bottle pours amber in color with a small pinkish head that settles quickly and leaves little lacing. Aroma is light cherries and a hint of yeast. Taste is light fruits and some malt sweetness and a trace of hops in the finish. An ok tasting beer, but nothing special.

Bottle at home in London, with Lyoli. Pours pinkish-red with a receding, white foam head. Sugar, grain, cereal, subtle hints of booze. Flavor is interesting. Quite sweet, some buttery bread, odd fruit notes, a slight artificial note. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Malty finish, plenty of grain and some lingering fruit - weird fruit. Drinkable.
