12 oz bottle pours a dark reddy brown. I think it's usually a pinker color but this bottle is around 3 and a half years old. Strong cherry aroma. Lots of cherry flavors balanced against a mild sweetness. My favorite cherry beer.

Draft at Global Brew. Pours a clear dark with a thin white head. Taste is sour, musty with cherries. Very good.

I had this at Global Brew. It reminds me of cherry juice, very good. I would drink this again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

prawlie (858) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle at Reading Beer Festival 2013. Cherries with good body, well rounded. A little over sweetened however. Nice cherry aroma, with a hint of ’medicine’. Takes a little syrupy but I still liked it.

On tap at Mayor of Old Town. Ruby reddish-brown appearance. Sweet fruity cherry juice aroma. Similar flavor, lightly tart and light Belgian yeast. Light body with a soft feel and sweet finish. Pretty clean and crisp, hides the ABV well.

jcos (1175) - Maryland, USA - APR 29, 2013
Location/Date:Bottle on April 27th, 2013 at The Bier Baron.

Appearance: Pours a dark opaque.
Aroma: Aroma of dark cherry.
Taste: Cherries, sweet, faint tart.
Palate:Medium body, really covers alcohol well.

Summary: Thanks Lauren for letting me take a taste of this beer. A nice fruit beer, fancier than most that I’ve had, and really covers alcohol well...doesn’t even really taste like beer.

Senka (117) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - APR 27, 2013
From the archives: 0.75l. usually enjoyed in snifter, fills your nose with cherry aromas and loads of yeasty sourness in the taste. One of my favorite fruit beers. Enjoy that after your meal, with some fine cheese and some honey.
