Amber Color. Cherry Aroma. Sweet Malty taste. Almost Mead like with slight taste of cherries, not overpowering though. I was pleasantly surprised. I expected to be overtaken by cherry taste. Very unique.

Semi clear orange red with a thin head. Smell is dirt, cherries, and a faint touch of funky dough. Flavor is bland watery sweet dough. There just isn’t much to this one. Average to low carbonation. Big alcohol aftertaste that sticks to the tongue.

Had this out of a massive bottle in mid-july. A buddy of mine won it back over the holidays and was kind enough to save it for a special occasion. Taste great in the heat of summer as well!

Belgian spicy aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Fruity with a sour finish. Yeasty and sour. Lacey. Tinged colour. Winter in June.

Bottle courtesy of hopdog. Thanks!
Pours a nice reddish amber color with a filmy head. Smell is malty, sweet, and lightly fruity. Taste is malty, fruity, and honey with no cherry flavor to be found. Kind of bland, and not too flavorful or exciting really. Didn’t come across as a fruit beer, or especially cherry, but very drinkable with no alcohol flavor, which is nice considering its 11%

This poured copper/amber in color with a constant head when swirled. The nose shows off bubblegum, banana, caramel, sweet red fruit and slight spice. In the mouth it is full-bodied, concentrated and heavy with the honey and cherries showing more in the mouth than nose. The alcohol is noticable which is the downpoint on this one.
