Reddish color and head that is small that disappears quickly. Very cherry sweet taste (not like traditional lambics, which are sour.) This has a sweet dry tartness at best. Less tart then a Lindeman’s. For what it is I think it is excellent!!

I’ve never tried a "spontaeous fermented" beer before...let alone one with cherry juice added. It had a dark red color and white head. This beer smelled like an unburned cherry wax candle crossed with a cherry fruit roll-up. Very sweet due to the added syrup. I’ll try anything once...once.

Bottle: Courtesy of bu11zeye via trade. Aroma is loaded with cherry. Pours a hazy deep red with a soapy pink head. Flavor is all cherry. More sweet than tart, but tartness is noticeable in the finish. Even though the flavor is sweet it’s not candy sweet. I really like cherries so this one definitely worked for me.

Spontaneous fermentation sounds cool. Beer with cherry juice sounds questionable. Hazy cherry colour and pink head. Light cherry colour and sour aroma. Light cherry pop. Some residual sourness.

Very similar to a belgian kriek. Sweet cherry with a nice sour bite. Tastes like a cherry jolly rancher.

Pinkish in color both body and head. Head is fizzy. Strong cherry taste but not overpowering. Slight hint of malt but no bitterness and very carbonated.
