Nice thick bright red amber with a decent off-white head. Smell is light sweet malt and berries. Flavor is tart berries with a lemon touch and huge plum flavor. Mouthfeel is a touch too bubbly but otherwise is nice. Flavor is watered down plum with a splash of lemon.

Pours a dark maroon opaque color with a medium lived beige head. Smell is lightly fruity malt and perhaps a touch of almost cinnamony spice. Taste is tart, sweet fruitiness reminiscent of plums and perhaps cherries. Dry plum like flavor, and very crisp and refreshing. Surprisingly good compared to the overall ratings. Quenching and enjoyable. Thanks again!

Jun 22, 2008 Pours out cloudy brown with a slight ruby hue, moderate head. Aroma is of tart cherry. Taste is of some tart cherries with a little malt for balance, slightly dry finish. Overall it just didn’t all come together for me

Jun 13, 2008 Slightly red and muddy brown colored. Really big head to it, especially for a fruit beer. Slight cherry aroma with something else in the smell that I can’t pick out at the moment. Pretty sour tasting. Tart cherry flavors are most prominent. Tiny bit of the taste of malts. I actually did not really think it to be that great.

Jun 9, 2008 I sampled at 12 oz. bottle. Pours a copper-colored body, with little foam or head. The aroma is sour and musty, with a few aroma hops. Palate entry is instantly tart, with little malt character, which appears in the mid-palate backbone and long finish. Tart cherry flavors predominate, and there is a strong drying coda with some light hop character. Interesting, but a bit overdone.
