A red beer with a small collapsing pink head. The aroma is sweet with notes of cherries. The flavor is also sweet with strong flavors of cherries, but only hints of sourness, before a slightly dry finish sets in.

25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden red with a pink head. Dense almond cherry dry aroma. Citric and sweet flavoured and quite artificial. Sweet and sulphorish finish. Simple and somewhat artificial.

(Bottle 25 cl) Clear, reddish amber colour with a creamy, pink head leaving laces. The initial tartness in the aroma is accompanied by cherries and marzipan. Light body with sweet cherry notes and a fairly distinct tartness. Comes with both artificial sweeteners and flavourings but manages to present itself as a pretty decent fruit lambic. 260107
