Nice fruit beer this hit the spot for lunch along with some great grub. Light fruit with a nice malt backing.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
GCBF sample. Maybe I just like cherries but I like this beer, apparently more than others do. Pinky orange. Cloudy. No head. Light refreshing beer with a strong cherry finish. Lasting sourness which is another characteristic that I like.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught, Railway Club
Slightly hazy light burgundy colour. The aroma is light, showing a contrast between cherry and diacetyl. Flavourwise, its like a LifeSaver - candyish fruits - with a harsh alcohol background.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: AUG 6, 2005 RERATE: 2nd annual Vancouver Caskival. Not nearly as good as the first batch. Bright red beer, thin pink head. Light spicy aroma with a touch of yeast. Also a very distracting chemical and plastic aroma over a sweet cherry juice. Flavour is very artificial and chemical tasting. Very sweet cherry aroma.
Sampled at the brewery in Sorrento, BC. A very pale pink colour with a thin pink head. Very delicate cherry fruit and floral aroma with a hint of sweetness. Very light body, but incredibly quaffable. Flavour is also quite subtle, shows light cherry, a nice acidic bite and a clean crisp finish. Very tasty.
