poolboy (66), Lafayette, Indiana, USA Nov 30, 2008 A fruit (cherry) beer from Canada. Not sour enough for this style. Pours reddish. Little if any head. Very sweet aroma. Supposed to be drunk hot, but I had mine cold. Not bad, but nothing exceptional about it. jeffwilliams11 (310), hooterville, Michigan, USA Nov 19, 2008 served warm. was a little sceptical at first with the thought of a warm beer...but this was amazing. sweet and tart, full of cherries. great lacing around the glass... halfonit (415), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Oct 22, 2008 Ok this is one that I’ve been looking at for a while now but just have the money to buy it. Now that I finally have it, I’m anxious to give my rating. So here goes. Has a nice dark brown/red color, almost like a deep deep deep rose color. It has kind of a sweet wine scent to it, scents of cherries,caramel, nuts, and other fruits. Very sweet flavor. A bit of a nutty cherry flavor with a bite in the end. Definitely something different than I’m used to. But I like it. markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Oct 22, 2008 For a fruit beer this is excellent and complex. Pours a red-amber color with no head to speak of. Aroma is spice (cinnamon), and lots of sweet fruit (CHERRY!). A slight nuttiness emerges in the flavor after mid swallow. Finishes sweetly and is a great digestif. Wow. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Oct 18, 2008 Sampled chilled. I have not tried it warmed up yet.Poured a dark red with sweet cherry nose.It was sweet cherry like. This was a different kind of fruit beer.Didn’t know what to make of it. I will rerate when I sample warm. beerbill (1917), Laurel, New York, USA Oct 13, 2008 750 ml bottle. Consumed chilled. Pours a hazy ruby red with just a handful of thin-walled bubbles at the surface that quickly disbursed. The aroma is very much about the cherries with some very sweet cherry syrup on the nose. Although the beer is sweet, it is not as sweet as the aroma suggests. The cherries are slightly tart up front and then become more sweet towards the finish. Not at all thick or cloying, which was the initial impression I got based on the aroma. It was a pleasure to enjoy something out of the ordinary. Well done! dolemite77 (184), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Oct 7, 2008 Hm... this one is different than most I’ve had. I’ve enjoyed a few krieks, but this doesn’t seem as much like that as I expected. There isn’t the bubbly sour tang that a Kriek has. This is more like a mulled wine. I guess that’s from the fact that it is supposed to be heated. I drank cold at first, but let it warm. Aroma is sweet and fruity. There is more of a cinnamon flavor up front than cherries. Not sure I would run to this beer, but given what it is, it is a good brew. Allen (1282), Switzerland Oct 5, 2008 Bottled 50cl. Sampled both hot and cool. Rather drinkable despite its rather high sweetness. Pleasant. It reminds me a bit of root beer. I wasn’t too impressed.
