Aroma is strong cherry, very small head,which dissapears rapidly. Overall appearance is a very dark red in color, somewhat hazy. Flavor is a very tart cherry with just a slight "bite" of an aftertaste. Moderate carbonation and bubbly, goes down somewhat smooth. This is not somthing i would drink all the time, this is somthing that my wife likes, so i would drink this occaisionally .

Not sure why folks drink a 4% beer, then complain it is not strong enough. I had it from a bottle on a hot day with grilled steaks on the deck. It was just what the doctor ordered. Surpassed expectations. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Here’s a different one. Bottle pours a hazy ruby color with a monster fluffy white head. Warm tart cherry flavor, silky texture. All the carbonation went to the head.

This is a beer that has a very full, fruity flavor, without being overly sweet. The aroma is quite noticeable, but in a good way. Has been a personal favorite for quite a while now.

UPDATED: FEB 25, 2008 I love the frothy, pinkish head the the beers gives. I was surprised by the amount of head. smells a bit acidic. taste of strong cherry flavor? much more like grenadine. Taste might have been off from having other beer prior. finishes a bit metallic, but overall clean. sour aftertaste thats largely amusing and pleasant. texture a bit thin yet a tad silky. This is a solid lambic. Just a solid beer to have.

Like other raters claim, it does smell and taste like "Luden’s" cough drops! Very uncharacteristic of any beer I’ve tasted, thus far. Deep ruby pour with a pinkish medium head. Very sweet initial and finish with cherry following the whole way. Great Lambic!

Lovely bouquet of fruity cherry malts on the nose. Magnificent pink coloured head with micro bubbled lacy legs on the glass of a flute. Sweet tarts there is no doubt that, thats what sums it up best in flavour. Makes me feel like a kid again ;^) Full flavouring and satisfying to the buds. NIce pleasing and very drinkable solution. Quite and impressionable exlir.

Liquid gold. One of my all time Favorites. Nice Ruby pour with a Reddish head. Tart and fruity, and some what Acidic. great style but may not be to everyones liking
