This is much more interesting than the Lindemans Cassis. It is Dark red with a medium pink head leaving some nice lace. The aroma is cherry with a hint of yeast, a bit like cherry cough medecine, which is not all that good. However, the taste is far better. It starts with sweet cherry then gets more tart, dry and in the end is tart-sweet with hints of sour and yeasty lambic underneath, making it far more complex than the Cassis and more what I was looking for. It is light, tingly, and lively, and quite good.

Wow this is really good. Nose is sour and of muted cherries. Pours the color of cloudy blood with a fizzy off white head. Tastes like nice sour cherries. This beer is super refreshing and just has a great balanced taste. Really like it.

Bottle. Dark almost blood red with a small pink head. Very nice aroma, sweet cherry with a hint of yeast. Great flavor, it reminds me of those sour cherries candy that you used to get from the penny candy store on the corner when you were a kid. It starts out with a sweet blast of cherry flavor then disappears into a tart (but not strong) tangy cherry flavor. Very nice I will be drinking this on a regular basis.

Hazy ruby color with a fluffy, almost artificial, pinkish red head. Aroma is sweet, sour cherry. Flavor is the same but with a finish that has that wild sour lambic flavor. Very soft palate.

Pours a rosey cranberry color w/ a shallow, shortlived froth and a decent lace. Aromas of cherry tart. Medium nectar w/ pillowy soft carbonation. Big ripe cherry fruit upfront w/ a tart component that materializes very quickly balancing out the sweetness. The finish is long leaving at tingle in the corners of my tonsils.

Draught. Almost clear reddish colour with a nice pinkish head. Heavy cherry aroma and taste. But not too sweet. Cant wait to taste this on a hot summer day.

Clear deep red beer with beautiful pink head. Dominant fresh cherry/ fresh grape aroma. The taste is great...sweet, but great.
