Dec 3, 2006 (375ml bottle, best by Sept.07) Pillowy pink head atop a clear dark pink-red body. Aroma is moderately sweet, strong Maraschino cherry, light cherry sourness. Taste is moderately sweet, cherry, light sourness. Light-medium body, some stickiness. Certainly comparable in sweetness to the other Boomgaards, but it works better in this instance. Still hard to think of it as something other than a soda.

Sep 25, 2006 From 375mL Bottle, 2005 Vintage. Pours a deep, transparent, ruby red color with a tall, foamy, well sustaining head of pink. Interesting, funky, sweet, soapy yeast aromas mingle with marachino cherry juice. Almost waxy. Very sweet, lightly attenuated mouthfeel with a healthy effervescence. Very sweet and quite tasty, but also very one-dimensional in this regard. Drinkable as a dessert, but not complex or beer-like, either. Plenty of cherries, a hint of clove. Not bad for a lindeman’s competitor.

Aug 23, 2006 Light merlot appearance witha large, pink head and decent lacing. Aroma was all cherry; sweet and one dimensional (as was this beer in general). Taste was sweet as well, almost lile cherry coke. Well carbonated with a slightly sour finish.

Jul 16, 2006 Better than the tropicale! More traditional I guess. Blood orange pour. Nice and tart. Still needs some work as it can get a little cloying.

Jul 3, 2006 375ml bottle 2005.
Dark red, almost blood coloured ale, with a large frothy pink head.
aroma is very wild /black cherry like.
Sweet cherry flavour, syrupy,sour after taste.
Mouthfeel is not too cloying.
I found this pretty drinkable, a nice change up inhot weather though one 375ml is probably enough for me.
