355ml - Pours a darkish red in color with little carbonation and a pinkish head that barely covers the top of the beer. Aroma is clearly black cherry, which I love and slightly sweet. Flavor is all about the cherries (really good). Starts sweet, but then the sourness of the cherries and the Brettanomyces. Finishes strong on the cherries and, again, slightly sweet to start and sour to finish. I am a real black cherry fan and this one did not disappoint... I really like this one...

Poured out a dark pink beer with a nice bright head; on a good pour I can get some ropy lacing. The aroma is of black cherries, some oak, medium sweet, a slight dusty earthiness (very little). It’s big on the black cherry. The taste is also dark cherry, slight wood, a spritzy sourness, nice sweetness, a bit dry and mild overall. Has a great carbonation to it, good solid sourness that goes dry then goes sweet. Finishes with a slight heat. Mild an smooth overall.

Unfiltered version at WSF. Opaque ruby with bright pink candy head. Aroma is cherry candy and is one-dimensional and sweet. Sticky sweet palate. Dessert sweetness, with lots of sugars. Nice seed bitterness at the end, though.

Bottle, shared slightly chilled with friends at my good friend Kyle’s wedding. Another lambic with the bottle cap and cork combo: glad we had a corkscrew. This was a deep red colour with a small pink head. It is spritzy and summery with a light to medium, slightly syrupy body. There is the obvious cherry in the aroma, very sweet. I taste more cherry with a slightly sour lambic background.

Lovely, glassful of cherries. Not really anything I can add to the description in your mind. I wish the alcohol was higher. It’s not as sour as the Framboise... Has lots of body to support such a strong flavor. Good stuff.

"Strange bottle a cap plus a cork that required a cork screw. The only thing I can say about the look of the beer its very pretty with its rich ruby red body and huge pink cap that had phenomenal retention and lacing, for a fruit beer this looks perfect. Aroma is loaded with sour cherries and had undertones of apple, the warmer it got the sweeter the smell got turning almost candy like towards the end. Mouth feel is smooth and full with great carbonation. So very tasty wow I’m blown away by the flavor. Tons of fresh cherry that has a very tart quality but yet still sweet, the tartness and the sweetness are in perfect balance. I still think I’m getting a touch of apple. The malts are rich and smooth but stay in the back ground letting the intense cherry shine through. So good I can’t believe it even the fiancé likes what is rare in fact when I got up to answer the phone she drink half my glass ( very close to calling the wedding off after that little stunt ). "

Almost purple in color with a dark burgundy head, no lacing. Smells of dark cherries. mouthfeel is highly carbonated but smooth. Taste is of cherries and the classic sweet/sour taste.

Bright purple red with a frothy pink head. Aroma is cherry with crabapple, and a slight woodiness. Taste is heavy cherry, and VERY sweet. Cloying, but only slightly medicinal. If you know what you’re getting it isn’t half bad.
