3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle from Tiffany’s in Kalamazoo MI, served in a tulip. Pours clear caramel with a moderate white head. The head fades very slowly and leaves a small amount of fine lace. On the nose, there are notes of sour cherry, pale malts and herbal hops. The flavour is moderately sweet and moderately sour, with notes of sour cherry, pale malts and piney hops. The finish is long, moderately sweet and slightly sour with cherries, pale malts and a touch of hops. Overall, this is a decent cherry ale. Fairly straightforward with real cherries, it is pleasantly tart. Worth another try for sure. 2011-11-11

Bottle. Pours pinkish with a frothy white head. Aroma and flavor are mild of tart cherry blowpop with caramel. Subtly tart and subtly sweet. Nice and pleasant cherry flavor that’s on slightly sugary.

Légèrement plus sucré que sûr, imaginez un crème soda saveur cerise. C’est assez rond en bouche avec une buvabilité d’un autre monde. J’ai mieux aimé ma 2e expérience mais c’est trop unidimensionnel pour lui donné un haut grade. Sa fabrication est de grande qualité par contre...Eh! Founders...
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle pours strange hazy peach orange color with light weight white head. Smell is reminiscent of some belgian sours I’ve had, a musty vine ripen fruit that its not distinguishable. Taste is rich, not as sweet as a cider not really tart or sour, sort of like a gueuze, mild and smooth. Finishing it does have a nice light tart cherry fling with a musty tone and a healthy amount of grain. Not necessarily impressive but interesting.

Pours a redish orange with a thick white head of very fine bubbles. The flavor is very crisp and clean, with a nice tartness from the cherries and a very slight underlying sweetness. Very refreshing beer.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle @ Schouskjelleren, shared with Palme and X number of Norwegian Ratebeerians around the table @ RBNAG 11. :-) Clear red-hued orange body, small white head. Nose is red fruits, currants, hints of kiwi and mint (first time!). Taste is mint again (no, I didn’t just brush my teeth before tasting :-P), cherries, almonds and hints of marzipan. This is just a bit weird, all in all.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Light to medium sweetness, but a light sourness all the way through to balance it out. Aroma includes cherries and wood. Lightly red and an off-white head. (Bottle)
