pours a slightly hazy cranberry red with pink head that goes fats but laces nicely . Aroma is cherry sweets , maraschino cherries . high carbonation which suits the sweet and tart cherryade style of taste .nice for a summer afternoon picnic but not really my idea of beer .

Bottle. Pours a deep murky red with a dirty pink foam. Initial nose is sweet artificial cherries. Lots of carbonation. Taste is mild, not too sour with a more natural cherry taste. There’s some pleasant matinees and the palate is tart but sweet. Really quite nice but not my cup of tea.

Pours pink/red with big a fluffy pink/white head. Nose is cherryade, cherry sweets, sugary cherry fruit. Taste is sweet cherry pop. Light bodied and only a tiny bit sticky but still a bit too sweet for me. Couldn’t drink much of this stuff.

Bottle from M&S, Bicester consumed 12.06.11 Pours dark red with barbie pink head. Plenty of ripe fruity cherry flavour’s however it is a bit too heavy on the sweetness, though I did like it and would happily have another. A6 A5 T7 P4 Ov13 3.5

Murky ruby with a fine-bubbled pink foam lacing ornately with each sip. Cherrydrop aroma. Flavour same as but with a lifting tang of acidity to counter the tooth-rot. Medicinal finish without ruining sweetener notes. You wouldn’t want another, but one is acceptable...bordering on the enjoyable. A ladybeer too good to share with the missus.

Smells like cherry yoghurt, light sparkle to it. Not something I thought I would like but it reminds me of cherry drops so found it quite nice, considering it’s not my kind of beer.

(bottled) Drank from my De Dolle goblet this looked pretty in pink ,with vibrant purple base. I found this nice(basically). Im usually skeptical about this kinda thing(non lambic-fruitbeer), but I was happy i got both sweet ,then tart cherry and notes of yougut ....wheat is subtle. This was way way refreshing . I wish i’d picked up six bottles -rather than just the solaitary one, as it worked with me.

Bottle. Red and pink with a fluffy light pink foam. Aromas are floral with wheat and dark cherries and citrus. Yeasty and fresh. Flavours are cherry drop sweets with nice tart cherry and lemon. Spritzy and refreshing. Better than I expected.

Bottle. Purple appearance which was a different start. Cherry flavours dominate and quite a lot of body. Definitely above average for this style. Quite adventurous for Marks ans Spencer to commission this one. Worth a try.

Bottled. A bright yet hazy red coloured beer with a baby pin spongey head and lacing. A sweet poppy cherry beer with a little pith and skin to give it a bit of a grown up feel. Less fruity in the nose than the mouth, but it’s still young slender and friendly.
