Red in color with little head. Smells great but is lacking in taste. Taste like slightly alcoholic cherry juice.

Bottle from a Karstadt in Kreuzberg, by J(an) 14. Nose is cloyingly sweet cherry a little Fruit Roll-Up tossed in, just tons of sugar and sticky fruit. Bright, thick red body with a large bright pink head. Taste is sweet and artificial, not cloying but nasty and powdery with an unpleasant grainy/scratchiness underlying. Light-medium body and a quick drainpour.
