3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 RAYBOY01 (2005) - Chicago, USA - SEP 26, 2009
Attractive cherry tinged pour with light white head that releases a very intense cherry tartness in the aroma. Refreshing carbonation. Light body. Decent spicy/tart cherry characteristics, without any noticable artificiality or cloying sweetness. Quite a nice change of pace...and reliable summer refresher.

Pours a nice deep pink red with a nice pink head. Nose is cherry with some ale funk - was expecting more fruit in this for the color. Not as fruit forward as some of the other fruit beers I’ve had recently. Mouthfeel is nice, wishing for more cherry and tartness though!

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 scooter520 (82) - - MAY 26, 2012
Bottle. Appearance: hazy pink/red with light pink head. Aroma: doughy yeast, tart cherries. Taste: tart cherries dominate with cereal, dough, and slight grassiness. Mouthfeel: light body with light to medium carbonation. Overall: meh. Not TOO sweet like can happen with fruit beers. So they did well with the fruit but the rest is just not balanced well enough.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 lusikka (2533) - Tampere, FINLAND - MAY 19, 2012
355 ml bottle @ O’Hara’s, Tampere.
Pours a amber pink colour with a white fluffy head. Aroma of tart cherries, bubblegum and grains. Flavour of tart cherries again, sweet berries, herbs, grains and sweet old toffee. Light bodied, slick mouthfeel and a sharp, mildly tart finish with sweetness. This is a fairly old bottle, but still seems to have kept some of it’s tartness intact. Still no more than a overly sweet fruit beer.
