Slightly hazy , light red with a small white head. Fruity cranberry juice cocktail aroma, sugary and artificial like a Jolly Rancher candy. Juicy, watery and slightly tart flavor, metallic and glassy finish. Aftertaste has some corky wood flavors. Juicy fruit cocktail in a bottle...

375ml bottle: Pours a transparent bright ruby red with a thin, spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma has some medicinal cherry fruitiness and candy sweetness. Body starts slightly effervescent with lots of cherry sweetness and a decent tart balance before a sugary syrupy finish. Fairly drinkable, but could use some more complexity and body.

Thanks to Weeare173 for sharing. Brewer on the side is listed as "Liemans" Must be a bootleg fake knockoff of Liefmans beer. haha. Pours a bright red with a fizzy carb. Aroma is sweet artificial sugars and some cough syrup- sugary sweet ludens cough drops as well. Flavor is rediculously sweet with artificial sugars, and almost a cotton candy-like quality to itand some flavor ice or that syrup that they put on sno cones with hardly any tartness, a wierd plasticy and off finish- ugh.

375ml bottle shared thanks to weare138. Poured a medium reddish-pinkish color with a smaller sized pink tinged head. Aromas of cherry cough syrup and hard candy - those Ludens cough medicine ones. I swear I was getting some plastic as well. Tastes of the same artificial cherry medicine. Syrupy body. I didn not care for ths one at all.

Poured a clear, ruby red color with a thin ring of white bubbles on top, light sticky lacing on the glass. Aroma of medicinal cherries, along with some toast, and wood. Taste was vanilla, and overbearing sweet cherry cough drop. Not even a good one from Liefmans, or Liemans in this case.

Pours a deep cherry/mahogany colored body with a small but bubbly, light pink head. The aroma is sweet maraschino cherries and some light doughy yeast. The flavor is mostly grenadine with some almonds. The sweetness mellows out some after a few minutes.

I wanted a lot more sourness and acidity out of this, but the flavor and aroma were dominated by fruit and more "normal" beer flavor. It is definitely a fruit beer and not a lambic by any means.
