RollinHard (951) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - NOV 14, 2009
Pours dark red with a small pink-beige head. Aroma is dominated by sweet cherries and cough medicine with some earth, leaves, and a slightly mustardy yeast note (which I was cut through the fruit more). Flavor begins very sweet as well with a fruitiness that just seems like Cherry flavored Dimetapp to me, along with a little bit of yeast character and earth attempting to balance things. Fairly light bodied and spritzy, but the flavor is potent. Eh, I’m not a fan and am uninspired to type more.

awiseman01 (469) - Indianapolis, Indiana, USA - NOV 12, 2009
Tap at FFF. Pours clear dark ruby with bubbly pink head (how cute, now someone pass me an I.S.). Sweet, clean refreshing cheer jollyrancher taste with very slight sour backing. Interesting, seems like a dessert. Light and drinkable.

Dark, almost blood, red. Hints of red in the head. VERY heavy on the cherry. I liked it at first, but as it got close to the end I thought I was drinking cherry Nyquil. I wish they had focused more on the sour quality of cherries rather than their sweetness.

Bottle poured into a tulip. Dark cranberry color with small pink frothy head that dissipates fully. Aroma of strong dark cherries, syrup. Taste is slightly tart, mostly sweet and syrupy, with slight alcohol finish. Smooth and soft carbonation. Pretty good!

jjuf1853 (954) - Land O Lakes, Florida, USA - OCT 22, 2009
Bottle pours a dark reddish brown color with a thin head. Aroma is dominated by cherries with just a touch of woodiness. Flavor is sweet at first but then followed by nice contrasting sour notes. Taste reminds me of Ludens cherry cough drops. Slight warmth from the alcohol, but otherwise you’d never guess it was 8%.

Bontus (481) - Waasmunster, BELGIUM - OCT 18, 2009
Bottle. Pours dark red, near brownish. Not lasting pink head. Very cherry aroma. Sweet sourish flavor but predominantly sweet. Finish was a bit short. Still very drinkable, ABV well hidden.
