Hazy brown color with a thin fully diminishing bubbly head. Light sour aroma, hints of cherries. Light sour flavor, barely any noticable fruit.

Cloudy brown body, zero head. Great sour aroma, some light cherry is evident, some yeast as well. Very interesting taste, sour that diminishes quickly to more of a malty taste. Light fruit accents are evident with a green grass ending.

Draft. All One Bar, London. Red in appearance and red in aroma and flavor, that is, cherries and strawberries. This reminded me of what Frankenberry cereal would taste like if it were liquid — and cherry. Sweet and fruity in aroma and taste. Bubbly mouthfeel and thin body. I would have preferred more sourness, but if you’re in the mood for a sweet cherry beer with alcohol, this would not be unpleasant.

Aroma of tart cherries and sourness. Flavor was also very sour. The flavor was very unique though. It was a little too sour for me. Not horrible but not a style I am going to seek out.

Was a Washington apples red color. not a big head. Smelled like a sour candy and tasted a little like cough medicine. That seems harsh but it was a decent beer. I didn’t feel like I was drinking beer more like I was drinking some kind of fruit drink. It was light on the palate and had a refreshing sour zing in the back of my throat.

Bottle. Pours a deep sparkling ruby-pink with a large somewhat-diminishing foamy pinkish head. Decent sour cherry aroma, a little wine-like. Tart cherry flavour along with some oak and lights hop in the finish -- not cloying at all. Slightly more carbonated then I like. Medium bodied. This is pretty good and makes for a pleasant change of pace every now and then.

Had it on tap versus from the bottle. Much better carbonation from the bottle. Nice cherry notes with a hint of bitter finish. Great beer cold for warm days.

Weak aroma, but hints of cherry. Color is red. Taste is a combination of cherry and sour. Dry to the palate. A nice lambic.
