750 mL bottle. Pours reddish brown, capped with a moderate sized pink-white head. Aroma of sour cherry, with some wood and nuttiness. Tart, sour cherry flavor, with some wood and malt. Long, mildly tart finish. Cherry flavor is slightly medicinal and a bit synthetic, but its still enjoyable.

one of only a few fruit beers i like, tastes just like cherry soda has a very nice finish ... not very beer like though ... more like some sort of awesome wine cooler

On tap at PP Carlsbad. Red amber color. Great cherry aroma. Sweet with just a hint of tart. Wow, this is fantastically delicious. Perfect for my sweet tooth. Must get more. This is one of my favorite beers.

On tap at Teresa’s Next Door. Pours a mostly translucent ruby ted with a small bubbly/creamy off white head. Aroma of cherry liquor, a touch of some Belgian yeast esters...but mostly cherry. Flavor is very cherry, more sweet than tart, kind of medicinal. I could see having this with a nice piece of chocolate cake, but not much else.

On draft at Pivovarský klub, Prague. Cherry cough-syrup nose with cherry soda notes. Deep clear red in appearance; visibly fizzy in this incarnation. Sipping, it swerves across the road from real fruit to Cherry Coke and sweet to sour before it T-bones a sugar truck at the final intersection. The surprisingly understated finish climbs out of the wreck unscathed.
