BeerBlitz (72) - Roslyn, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 4, 2010
25.4 oz. bottle. To my nose, aroma was almost exclusively of cherries, with a little alcohol thrown in. Looked gorgeous in the glass, a fine red/brown color with a haziness that spoke of the tartness that awaited. Small pinkish head that disappeared almost as quickly as it formed. Taste was somewhat one dimensional (tart cherries of course); however, I did detect the distinct taste of fig. Dry on the palate. I took my time drinking the bottle so as to not overwhelm myself with the cherry taste. Overall, I liked it and would recommend it for splitting with another person after dinner.

Pours dark ruby colour. Small carbonation. The smell of cherries and alcohol. Taste is fruity with a bit of alcohol aftertaste. Drinkable beer, but not my kind of style. Also the taste changes depending on the beer temperature. When it is cold you can taste alcohol more, when it gets warmer the fruits become stronger. All in all it is an interesting beer. You should try it out.

Bottle 33 cl. This is maybe the best fruit beer I’ve ever tasted. The cherryflavour is very powerfull, but sweet and full of taste.

Dr_Fellini (47) - Norfolk, Virginia, USA - JUN 17, 2013
Draft. Pours a beautifully clear deep reddish-pink color with a thin light tan head. Aroma is very sweet, heavy on the cherries, and mildly tart. Taste is similar, with a strong bing cherry sweetness, and a mild sour on the back end. Sour flavors linger. Body is light with a mild carbonation. Very tasty, but would be hard to drink more than one.

bth122 (912) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 15, 2013
Draft at sharp edge. Beautiful ruby mahogany color. Aroma of cherries, cherry sugar candy, slight Belgium yeast notes. Medium light sweetness. Slight sour. Average carbonation. Taste is cherries and and sweet malt notes. I enjoyed this one. Probably couldn’t get more than a 6 pack good though.

andriesradu (198) - ROMANIA - JUN 14, 2013
33cl bottle. Pours dark red with a big but very fast dissapearing head. Nice sweet cherry aroma. Flavour is obviously dominated by cherries, also sweet and a bit sour, winy. Ends in a dry note

Bottle. Pours a hazy dark red-brown color. Smells cherries with caramel undertones. Taste - sweet cherries, tart, light sourness. Medium bodied, high carbonation. Nice.

crazyvin (1705) - New York, USA - MAY 30, 2013
poured an opaque reddish-brown color with a pink head. Very little retention. Somewhat elevated carbonation Aroma was a mix of candied sugar, tart cherries and mild yeast. Flavor was well balanced not overly tart and not cloyingly sweet. Carbonation seemed a little high. Alcohol was a warming presence in the finish.

My friend Barry brought a few to Lenny’s Memorial Day picnic and I was very pleased to have my first taste of this delicious cherry bomb. A fully satisfying and very tasty offering.

Rouge cerise, mousse rapidement plate mais pétillance assez forte. Côté goût, c’est cerises, cerises et... cerises avec une légère amertume. Alcool bien masqué par le sucre. Autant goûter une kriek convenable (ou mieux!) si on aime ça!

Pours a dark red with a light, frothy, pinkish head. Smells like sweet and tart cherries. Tastes very sweet and medium tartness. Very cherry, but very smooth.
