...this stuff is amazing, but wow is it sweet. Whatever they use as a sugar sub is the only thing that does not make it good enough. Great cherry flavor, almost overpowering, but not. Nice wheat malt, smooth finish. I like this stuff, but it is way overpriced.

UPDATED: APR 26, 2008 250 ml bottle. Deep ruby red, thin reddish head. The aroma is full of cherry (as one might expect...). Sweet and sour flavor - tastes a bit like cherry lemonade, a bit too sweet for my taste. I know there are plenty of people who like this but it’s just not my cup of tea (excuse the pun).

Beautiful deep ruby red pour with frothy pink head. Loved the cherry aroma - wasn’t phony like a sugary Kool-Aid mix. Flavor was pleasantly sweet with a nice sour finish. Balanced on the palate. I’m new to the style. Not sure I love the style, but this was a pleasant diversion from my steady diet of Hefes, Wits and big Stouts.

keg on Gallows Bird Espoo 030408 color:dark red,nice pinkish head Taste nice bit too sweet but strong cherry aroma, sour cherry aftertaste as well. Tasted first time years ago as starter for real lambic ales. Too sweet for me nowadays..

Poured red, with pink head. Big cherry aroma. Very sweet, cherry flavor. Slight sourness. Kind of tasty, but in that wine cooler way. The first taste is good, but when you get to the end, you never want it again.

The appearance and aroma made me think that this could be a really great brew... I was wrong. Its essentially a glorified wine cooler. Way, way too sweet and not very drinkable. I could see this as a teenage girls first experiment with alcohol..

Pale grapefruit violet with small pink head. Aroma of sweet tart cherry’s and mustiness. Tart cherry, grape. Sweet tingly pleasant palate. Good lambic.
