| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 12, 2008 Updated: Jul 20, 2008Bottled. Rubyish brown colour with a small pinkish head. Aroma is rather sweet cherries, but at the same time some mild sour notes lurking in the background. Quite real cherries in both aroma and flavour. Except for cherries the flavour also has some sweet malts and only slight sour notes. More a sweet cherry beer than sour one, making it very refreshing. illinismitty (1795), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 11, 2008 Draft at Eulogy in Philly. Pours deep cherry brown with a pale pink head. Strong aroma of cherry kool aid powder. As far as flavor, it pretty much matches the aroma. Cherries and malt. There is a fair amount of sweetness, and very little tartness, making this the perfect beer for the girls (or Cheapdark). Not much complexity going on, and perhaps an "alcopop" from the beer snob standpoint. I enjoyed it, but I think it needs some sourness or bitterness to get it to the next level. jeremytoni (1089), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 10, 2008 750 ml bottle dated 1/07 from West Lakeview Liquors in Chicago. Dark brown with red tint, tiny brown head. Lots of sweet/sour cherry aroma and slight earthiness. Sweet dirty Michigan red cherries, it’s like I can even taste the pits, slight earthiness, tart, very nice. Medium bodied and well carbonated. Very nice. M0RHI (1067), Luxembourg, Luxembourg

Pours a dark reddish brown with a small pink head. Aroma of Cherry. Nice sweet cherry taste on this one with very little sourness. Delicious! Kinz (2200), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 6, 2008 Rouge bottling. Medium towards deep brownish amber with reddish highlights and a slightly pinkish head. Aroma was cherry lifesavers, but not cloying. Flavor was also cherry lifesavers with a very faint tartness on the finish to prevent it from being cloying. This was better than it should have been.
