Apr 21, 2005 Strong candy-like black currant aroma has some occasional minty notes. Opaque reddish-purple body with decent cover of pink-white head that laces nicely. Very sweet candy-like fruitiness that is enjoyable but displays very little beer or lambic character. Very slight tartness in the finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Bottle (City Market Burlington, Nov. 2004) sampled with beerbuzzmontreal, ClarkVV, MartinT, muzzlehatch, Olivier, Rastacouere and Simon.

Apr 19, 2005 Pours a dark red color with a thin pink head. Sweet but somewhat unpleasant aroma of black currants. Unpleasant flavor of black currants, it’s much to sweet.

Apr 18, 2005 Clear pinky blood color. Limited head. Strong grapey cassis aroma. Extreme level of sweetness, nothing else, no alcohol trace whatsoever. So sweet it burns, overwhelming. The slightest hint at branches keep it from being a disaster, very cloying nature, teeth sticking. Smooth bodied, soft carbonation, syrupy mouthfeel. I don’t know.. I don’t enjoy it, but for a fruit syrupy beer, it is well made indeed…

Apr 18, 2005 Available in the bottle served with the appropriate glassware at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse in Pittsburgh, PA. Very nice appearance. An interesting musty aroma. Reminds me of the inside smells of the Noah’s Ark in Kennywood Park. Very easy to drink. I would consider this equal in stature to the raspberry. Equal, but different, a very good beer.

Apr 9, 2005 Deep purple body with a pink head, lots of lacing down the glass. Aroma is of currants with some light woody notes. Mildly sweet, currants and a light vinegar notes. Some light tartness balancing out the fruity sweetness. Overall a bit too sweet, but that was expected from this one.

Apr 8, 2005 Pours a dark purple with a tall pink head. Very rich currant aroma, sweet up front with a slight sourness in the finish. Very thick texture coating the palate very well. This makes a very nice after-dinner brew that would pair very nicely with anything sweet and rich.

Apr 5, 2005 Courtesy of Pailhead. Pours dark ruby/purple, with light purple foam. Aroma is dirty, musty, stale water smell. Flavor has alot of vinegar and not much fruit at all. Aroma kills the score for sure.
