375ml bottle - pours deep, cloudy ruby/brown with a slightly pink head on top. Aroma is very sour and fruity, obviously with cherries. I love it. Flavour is equally impressive...I really like this beer. A lot. Lots of sour cherries, some yeastiness, and the fruitiness of the beer is in no way overwhelming or obtrusive. Very full, effervescent and creamy mouthfeel. Beautiful. As far as "fruit beers" go, this one is the best I’ve had.

Aug 17, 2008 Draft, from one of the kegs before the Moortgat version is out. Red-maroon color with pink-tinted head. Sweet candy-cherry nose. Tastes even sweeter, like candy maraschino. Slight lemony tang. Too cloying. I’m wondering if this might actually improve under Duvel.

Aug 11, 2008 Sampled on draft at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore. A very dark, cloudy, burgundy-purple color with a deep ruby tint. A creamy, off-white head with long-lasting retention. The aroma had a strong cherry and malty smell, very fruity, with some earthy hops in the background. A very big cherry flavor with an almost too-fruity, medicinesque quality. The texture was wet and watery, with lower carbonation and good smoothness. Not a bad beer, but a very intense cherry push, which is a bit much for someone who isn’t too crazy about cherries.

Aug 9, 2008 375ml Bottle: Sweet aroma. Smells of cherries, funk, and sour mix. Poured dark red with some brown in color and no head at all. Clear. A few large particles. Flavor is medium sweet and lightly sour. Tastes of cherries, funk, and sour mix. Like a cherry soda. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, slightly sour cherry finish. Very drinkable.
