| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 7, 2009 Bottle obtained in the events surrounding GABF. Pours hazy reddish-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is cherry and other dark fruits, sweet malt, and spice. Flavor is somewhat sweet with lots of cherry, red berries, cinnamon and other spices, and marzipan. Very nice flavor. Body is medium and palate is just a bit syrupy. Solid fruit beer though. jbrus (4882), Delft, Netherlands

Sweet, light bitter, cinnamon, sweet black berries and hints of cherry. Sticky with a woody dry finish. My mind kept telling me to get another bottle and cook some beer in it. 13mikey (150), New Hope, Minnesota, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 1, 2009 12 oz bottle from Casanova. Pours a light pink color with a slight white head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is of course cherry and some wheat. The smell of this reminds me of Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, exactly actually. Flavor is surprisingly sweet (I expected a lot more tartness) but not overly sweet at all. Tangy smooth finish. This is incredibly good beer. argo0 (6945), Washington DC, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Oct 1, 2009 12oz bottle. Small beige/pink head that almost wholly dissipates, atop murky orange/red body. Aroma is medium sweet, astringent cherry. Taste is medium sweet, cherry cough drop, some cherry pit. Light-medium body, light syrup. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but this is not good.
