From the look of it it looks like a cherry champane with thin laceing along the sides of the glass with some spotted laceing along the sides. The nose is of strong cherry and some hints of hops. But the flavor is extreamly fruity with cherry and some bitter funk and has a sour patch tart sour finish. You can really taste the sour fruit along the sides of your tounge.

Pours purple with a large soapy pink head. The aroma has sweet cherries ~ Luden’s cough drops? candied maricino cherries? There is also light spiciness. Medium / thin crisp refreshing body with some light sharp carbonation. The taste is similar to the aroma with a bit more spice and a hint of tartness. The finish is definitely on the sweet side like the aroma. Good for a fruit beer.

Pours dark red with a thin pink head. Aroma of cherry cough syrup, cherry pie, sweet and sour cherries, and a mild touch of funk. It is not as bad as it sounds. Sweet cherry juice initially is followed by a tart finish. I like the dry mouth feel that is left over. A touch of wild yeast can be picked up as well.

Vivid and dark red color. Head in medium and pink. Aromas are sweet and cherry. Also flavor is very sweet and it has got a lot of cherry in it. Palate is medium and not much carbonated. Despite sweetness this i quality beer.

I have a hard time rating the cherry lambic, as I just cant get past the cough syrup flavor. However this is my favorite of the ones I have tried. Very sweet and drinkable if this is what you like. Some tartness balances this well.

375ml bottle from ASDA. Opaque, vivid cherry colour with a slight white head. Very sweet all round: Jammy aroma of cherries and almonds which reminded me of an iced bakewell tart; the flavour was syrupy, with plenty of synthetic cherry and granulated sugar. Poor.

Pours dark purplish red with a purple fine head. Super sweet sugary cherry aroma. Slightly sour but very sweet sugary cherry taste. Two words... panty - dropper...

A red bubbly pour. Pink frothy head. Cherry candy aroma. Nice carbonation. Orthodontic cherry flavor. Extremely sweet. Average lambic.
