Everything about this beer is distinct. It looks like Roddy Grand Cru in the goblet, but with a nice frothy head. Smells like a cherry soda, and tastes like a soft microbrewed cherry soft drink. Mouthfeel is thick and delicious like a homebrewed soda pop. Finish is dry with a strange bitterness. This is the only beer I’ve had at 8% that is actually quite easy to chug.

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours red with a light pink head. Aroma and flavor of sweet candy cherries, cough syrup. Very sweet and sugary. One of my favorite beers from back in the day. Nice, sweet, and tasty.

Jul 21, 2008 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.

KnN (219), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
Jul 19, 2008 Pours a deep ruby color with almost no head. Aroma is straight cherry cough syrup with no other hints of anything really present.
Flavor is more of the same. Cloying, sweet, like cherry syrup from an Italian ice place. There are definitely other better cherry beers out there.
