Bottle from Morrisons. Purple with pink head. You can actually identify some lambic-ness from the aroma - theres wood and apple and cobweb along with the cherry. Mouthfeel syrupy and flavour just way too sweet. Sad.

Best of the Belle-Vue products. Way too sweet with a strongly medicinal false cherry flavor...but the lively carbonation pulled it out of the fire for me.

Tap. Bitter side, but not overly sour. For cherries, its a good deal. But I’m rarely in the mood for cherries in beer. Maybe like twice a year.

Clear deep red colour almost mahogany. Thick rocky pink head. Sour acidic cherry nose. Tart sour cherry taste with lingering cherry finish.

Bottle. Sweet cherry-like aroma with some hints of sour acidity in the nose as well. There are also sour apple notes as well. Pretty pleasant aroma. Hazy copper/brown color with a small tan head. Pretty damn ugly compared to the Lou Pepe I had last week. Mild acidity and lactic notes to start, quickly followed by sweet cherries...almost medicinal in nature. Finishes a bit roasted and bitter. The cherries work in this beer like the cherry flavor works in Amoxicillin. It feels as though the fruit is trying to hide something as opposed to working with something. This is very drinkable though, but it just doesn’t jive with my palate.

A bit sweet and candy like cherry flavor. Very little sourness or lambic character. This was more of a soda and less of a lambic. This was a little dissapointing.

Full marks for an amazing cherry appearance and thick pink head! That was the only real distinction in this fruity brew as the overall taste paralleled a carbonated cranberry-cherry-soda drink. I was hoping for a more full bodied taste...
