2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pink-amberish head, fed by lively carbonated, muddy garnet beer. Sharp, oppressive - near astringent - nose of cherry concentrate. Something lactic as concentrated milk going sour.... Presageful. Malty-fruity-syrupy-lactic, and again all odds, better than expected. Think the high malt bill saves the beer a bit - which doesn’t changes a thing to the artificial cherrysyrup flavour. Well-bodied, slick, sticky, syrupy and velvety, but spritzy at the same time. Remains a fake-fruitbeer.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Bottled) Clear, deep blood red with a small, pink head. Very sweet and intense aroma of cocktail cherries in alcohol. Flavor is the same with overwhelmingly sugary cherries, but with a faint sourish twist and some acidity. Medium to full body, cloying-sugary, low CO2. Certainly not a very enjoyable sugar overdose. 7157
